Today, I learnt a lot of things especially chords in music notes and finale. We learnt again how to set up the finale for the 32 bars melody. Mr. Hary explain it again because, my classmates still dont understand and forgot how to set up finale. First we mus click set up wizard, then press next 2 times. Next, we must choose our instrument like woodwind, piano, guitar or violin then, we press next 1 time. After that, we must write our personal biography at the text box. Last, we must change the beat to 90 then in the text, we must write "andante" press next, then we are ready to make our melody. We learnt chords again because, my friends forgot the places for the notes in each chord. Mr. Hary told us to submit tomorrow because, a lot of students havent done any of the soft copy and the hard copy. I will submit the soft copy and hard copy tomorrow.

Reflection 22/2/12

Today, I learnt about chords in music notes again. I am quite bored of this chord notes because we always repeat it every music class this past 3 weeks. I am almost done with my 32 bars melody. Only 8 more bars than I am done. Mr. Hary told us to do it on finale and submit the soft and hard copy. I am surprised because, I thought we will submit it next week. I haven't install the finale yet so I don't know what to do. I am really thankful for Bimo because he let me install Finale for my laptop. I can't ask the finale from Mr. Hary because my laptop is macintosh so it is different. I will put my melody on the finale and submit tomorrow.

Reflection 16/2/12

Today, I learnt about making melody from chord notes in music. I was told to make 32 bars of melody with the chord. I am not done yet. It was hard to make the melody because, Mr. Hary told us to make the melody playable and we must make it seriously because, it is our assessment. My friend, Daniel, made a melody that sounds very nice and peaceful. I will finish and bind my baroque composers booklet.

Reflection 15/2/12

Today, I learnt about chords in music notes. Chord I is C, E and G. Chord IV is F, A and C. Chord V is G, B and D. Chord VI is A, C and E. For me, I think the chords are easier than the usual notes because the usual notes is more complicated because, there is sharps, half notes, full notes, quarter notes and many other else. We are also told about our new rule of the Baroque composer booklet. The due date is delayed from 16 February to 23 February but we must add 10 more pages for the booklet. I feel lucky because I have only done 5 pages. I will finish and print my Baroque composers booklet.

Reflection 9/2/12

Today I was absent so, I did not know anything.

Reflection 8/2/12

Today, I learnt about making songs and the rules of making the booklet about Baroque composers. Mr.Hary told us to make a 4 bar melody. My melody is very ugly. The notes are very far from each other so it will be extremely hard to sing, even Mr.Hary have difficulties at singing my melody. In the booklet of Baroque composers, the font must be either Verdana, Comic Suns or Tahoma. The maximum size of the font is 16. We must submit it in 16 of February. I will start to make my booklet.
