Term 3/4 - Week 6

Jazz

In music instrument class I learn about the "Autumn Leaves" song from Mr. John. Mr. John teaches me how to play the song using a style called "Bossanova" style. Bossanova stgyle is when we pick the bass string once and three of the bottom string once and so on and so forth, this will later create some what of a jazzy feeling to the song.

Term 3/4 - Week 6

How Was My Jazz Ensemble Group Progress? (Jazz)

I think that my jazz ensemble group is doing pretty well up to this point. I'm already able to play the whole song of "Autumn Leaves" and also able to accompany my friend's instruments like violin and flute. Overall I think that we can improve overtime as we practice more and more, and I have a feeling that we will give a spectacular performance in the end of it.

Term 3/4 - Week 5

No Class

We didn't really have enough time to do anything in in instrument class, since most of the time was taken up too much for the singing assessment. I hope that for next week's instrument class we will actually use the time for learning our instrument instead of another assessment. As much as I love music theory, I still want to improve on my guitar skills as well, so that I could apply the later on in life.

Term 3/4 - Week 5

How Did My Singing Assessment Go? (Singing Performance)

This week's music theory class was changed into the singing assessment. My group, group #3, Gitta, Adam Reikhan, Jessica, and I, sang the last because one of our group member, which was Adam Reikhan, can't make it to school in time. I think that my group sang pretty well, and I sang well for my part of the song too, but I got a feedback telling me that I need to sing louder.

Term 3/4 - Week 4

Music Notation Class

This week's instrument class got changed to music notation revision test since all of use didn't do that well on the first music notation test. For music notation revision test, I hope that I will have a better score than my previous music notation test, gladly I was able to fill in the whole thing in the revision test.

Terrm 3/4 - Week 4

How does business and industry affect music-makers and users?

Business and Industry impacted the world of music greatly since with the cooperation of business and industry with music they start producing money and artist and music-maker start to have a life of their own through the help of music. This week, we started our singing performance, my group consists of Gitta, Adam Reikhan, Jessica, and I myself. Adam Reikhan and I are in charge of singin part 3 of the song "Close to You."

Term 3 - Week 3

No class (Music Presentation)

Instead of instrument class we are doing our presentation. My group consist of me, Dio, Nico, Boy, and Ikhsan. I think I did pretty well on my presentation slide since I think that I was able to convey my message clear enough to my classmates so that they understand. All and all, my group did pretty well too.
