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 was suppose to be the day that me and the whole class performed our own composition, but my class mates including me were not ready so then the assessment was moved to next week. I then practiced on my composition so I could play in front of the class good. Next week I hope I could perform good and get a good score for my assessment.

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.

In this day, Mr. Herry reviewed all my clasmates composition including mine. while playing the compositions iwith his keyboard, he gave feedback to me that my composition is too complicated for to play in the saxophone. He said that I need too change the composition so it would not be fast. Next time I will try to eit my composition and write the final composition in a piece of paper.

Today I did my singing assessment with my partner Rafael. We sang in front of the class and sang the song 'Blowin in the Wind'. We didn't sang good enough, because we were nervous of people laughing at us, but I learned that if we are not confident, it will make the audience just laugh at us. So now I learned for the future that I should be confident.
