Reflection 31/5/12

Today, I finished the booklet MDW for the criterion C assessment. It was easier than last time because, Mr.Hary told us the assessment that we already done this last 2 terms. I was happy because,  this was the last session in grade 7. I was sad because, I will miss my classmates and 7D was a great class. In the last 10 minutes, we had a photo shoot. It was a really dramatic day for my friends because, a lot of them cried.


Today, there was no Instrument class because,  we did the MDW booklet and it was the last session in grade 7.

Reflection 30/5/12

Today, Mr.Hary announced the score for last weeks playing baroque music song on the instrument. I go 9.5/10 and that was out of my expectations. I thought I got 8/10 but I got 9.5. I was so happy when Mr.Hary told my score. I also did the booklet MDW in class. The booklet was about the past assessments. We should write a lot of things in the booklet. I had a hard time doing it because, I forgot a lot of my assessments last term. I also did a booklet about the reflection. We should write the reflection on reflection booklet.


Today, there was no instrument because,  we did the MDW and it took a whole session of music which is 45 minutes.

Reflection 25/5/12

Today, I practiced the song Andantino for about 10 minutes before the assessment. I was feeling confident about my score and I hope to get 9/10. I waited until my time has come. I prayed to God before playing my song infront of the class. When I play my guitar, I got distracted a little with the students infront of me so, I did 1 mistake. I think I did really great today and I hope to get 9/10 for the score.


Today, there was no instrument class because, there was ana assessment playing baroque song in the theory class.

Reflection 24/5/12

Today, Mr.HARY told the amount of reflection I made. I did perfect in the journal reflection. I always write my reflection every music class. I scored 0 in the blog reflection because, I havent update a sigle week yet in my blog. I also watched my friends practice infront of the class to finalize their skills for tomorrows assessment playing baroque music on instrument.


Today, I practiced Andantino and I did it perfectly. I am now ready and well prepared for tomorrows assessment.

Reflection 17/5/12

Today, there was a holiday so, there was no music theory nor music instrument.

Reflection 16/5/12

Today, I practiced singing with all of my class mates. First we hum the notes of music like C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. After that, I sang do, re ,mi, fa ,sol ,la ,ti ,do with all of my friends then we hummed again. I was laughing while humming because my friend Eki, look so funny while humming. Mr.Hary announced my score in the test. I got 6.5/8. That score was not satisfying for me. I need to get a better score next time so, I need to learn in my house.


Today, I practiced Andantino for my assessment playing baroque music. I am surprised that Mr.John said that I am ready for my assessment. I feel rady for the assessment next week.

Reflection 11/5/12

Today, I learnt about triads AGAIN. There was a new version introduced to me which is the First and Second inversions of triads. this was more complicated than the other types of triads or other music notes because, it needs a clear understanding of music before knowing the inversions. It was so hard because it was my first time learning this topic. I think I need to learn more music. I also saw my friends practice infront of the class AGAIN.


Today, there was no instrument class because, the time was took by my friends which practiced infront of the class.

Reflection 10/5/12

Today, I learnt about music notes like triads, major scales, sharps and a lot more music notes. It was a little simple than the last music notes we learned because, before there was the the types of triads and many more complicated notes. I also watched my friends practice their instrument for the assessment playing baroque song. Today was a boring day because, we did not do a lot of things that is fun.  


Today, there was no instrument class because, the time was taken by the studets that practiced in the theory session of music.

Reflection 4/5/12

Today, Mr.Hary told us to do another test because, the scores on the test before (the test about baroque era) was not satisfying and ugly. A lot of students got low score even the smart ones got an average score. I am not really smart so I think that my score is not good. The new test was about Johan Sebastian Bach. It was an easy test because, it was a reading comprehension test so, we just need to classify the answers in the text so, we dont really need to learn al lot of points.  I also practice playing baroque songs infront of the class. It was hard because, I just learn the song that I will play (Andantino) Yesterday. I need to practice more in my house.


Today, there was no instrument class because, we practiced the instruments infront of the class, so the time was taken by theory.

Reflection 3/5/12

Today, my friends was disrespectful to Mr.Hary so, Mr.Harry told the class to write G major, D major, A major and E major scales. We were also told to write each of their triads and their types. I needed a lot of help from my friends beside me because, I was having a really hard time noticing the types of triads in each major scale. It was hard for me because, I never learned a lot about major scales, triads and many notes from music in my life. I only learn music in school. I need to learn music more in my house because, it will increase my talent at playing instruments.


Today,  in instrument class I played songs that I learned from the internet and Mr.John gave me the music for baroque assessment which is andantino. The song was not hard so, I will play it for my assessment.

Reflection 26/4/12

Today, Idid the assessment about baroque era. I thought I was going to write an essay but, it was fill in the blank questions. I was reviled because, I was not ready to make an essay but, I was ready to fill questions. I had a little hard time doing it because, the questions were a little. I think I would do better if I learned mor in the internet because, there is more informations in the internet than in the music books.


Today, there was no instrument because the time was taken by the test abouyt baroque era in theory class.

Reflection 25/4/12

Today, Mr.Hary was absent because, Mr.Hay had a motorcycle accident so Mr. John substituted. I learnt so much about baroque era today because, we revised for tomorrows test about baroque era.I dont think that I am ready yet because, I havent started learning anything at home. I need to learn at home so I would be ready for tomorrows test.

Today, there was no instrument class because, in theory class, we revised and learned about baroque era for tomorrows test. 

Reflection 19/4/12

Today, I watched my frieds dod their assessment sing the Western song Santa Lucia. My classmates sang well and some of them really dominate their voice and made a great score. I also did my assessment. I did sing well but, I am not really confident so, when singing, I looked up to a sticker with smiley faces on it. Next time, I must be more confident so, I need to sing infront of my family to be more confident. 

Today, there was no instrument class because, there was an assessment in theory class so, the instrument time was taken by the theory class.

Reflection 18/4/12

Today, Mr. Hary told us about the new reflection booklet. The reflection booklet is a booklet for our reflections at the end of every music class. it is divided to 2 parts, Theory and instrument. Today I also practiced the song Santa Lucia for tomorrow's assessment. When practicing, I coughed a little. I need to drink some medecine so I will still stay healthy for the Singing Western Song assessment tomorrow.


Today, I discussed about what song will I play in my Assessment playing baroque songs in guitar. I was planning to pick Ode To Joy but, Mr.John said if I Play Ode To Joy, my maximum score is 8/10.

Reflection 12/4/12

Today, I learnt many things about the song "Santa Lucia" like the lyrics. I learnt how to pronounce the lyrics in the original way. We got helped by a French teacher that teaches music and French in Binus. She is a native French. Mr.Hary told us to pair up and sing infront of the class. I paired up with Daniel. I did not sing well because I was laughing, my friends were disturbing me. I think, I need to be more focused when presenting infront so, I must do a Mind test that will increase my Focusing skills.


Today, there was no instrument because, we must practice the song "Santa Lucia" in theory class.

Reflection 11/4/12

Today, I learnt the topics of my assessments and their dates. I was told about the song from western part of the world called ''Santa Lucia" for the solo singing western song assessment. I was not born for singing in a nice voice, I could only sing in messy notes because, I think, I am not confident enough to show my extremely nice voice to the world. I think I need to sing more infront of the mirror so, I would be more confident to release my beautiful voice. 


Today, I played random songs that I learnt from the internet so I would be good at it. I learnt safe and sound. The song was really beautiful to hear. I cant play the song because it was my first time playing it on the guitar. I think I need to practice more.
