Today I did another quiz on the major, minor chord, trid, and the classical and popular music history too. It was simply the same with the first one, so I didn't have any hard time doing it. The only problem i had is the timing because I didn't had much time to do it. Mr. Herry also showed us some of the people that uploaded videos on their blog.
9-4-2010
Today I did the quiz on the major, minor chord, triad, and there was also some popular and classical history questions. The major, minor triad for me was not that hard, but I only had the problem of the timing because I didn't work faster. I also had problems on the history of popular and classical music because I didn't studied it at home. In the future, if I have a bad score in this qui, I will do better on the test next time. Mr also thought us on how to make a finale paper.

Today I learned on some of the major and minor notes and how to make it. Mr. Herry thought us the process of the major chord that is to pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd note from a major. While making a minor chord, we just have to copy the major chord and change the 2nd note to a flat note. At first I was confused on how to make the minor chord, but after I asked some friends, I now understand it. Some of my classmates also rehearsed their own composition n front of the class. I was suppose to go in front of the class and rehearsed, but I wasn't ready yet.

Today I did my assessment on playing the classical song 'Amazing Grace' in front of the class and was recorded by Mr. Herry. Before the assessment I practiced a lot and did not have any mistake at all, but when I did the assessment I did some erors. I think this is because the confidence again that I didn't had, because of people laughing at me. Next time I will do better because I have learnt from the mistakes I did today.

Today was the first time I studied in the music class. The teacher that thought me most was Mr. Herry. He thought me on the criteria in the music class and what am I going to do. After that the rest of the class teachers, those are Mr. Sadrakh, Mr. Harry, and Mr. John, presented us some of the instruments and played in front of us. The most inspiring for me was Mr. Harry when playing his flute and saxophone, because I never saw anyone else play those instruments. After this I will talk to my parents about if they would let me to buy a saxophone.
