Today in theory class Mr Herrry checked our projects that is our finales, and our midis, some of our friends havent handed it in and were told to handed it in by the latest thurshday. After thatw e hand in our chords Hw and then we discuss it one by one together on the white board. Then we did some guessing on songs and were told to do HW that is to update the blogs. Next week we shoould rehearse our compoctions since today we didnt have the time too and so the assessment will be changed to next week and we need to practice our compositions more.
In practical class we played our compositions in a rehearsal was, after we play each of us should gave a comment to the melody that she played. My comment for Viena is that her melody is the best, for Vica is that she played well, my comment for Jacintha is that her melody is cheerful and she played it fluently, for Karina is that her composition sounds great, touchy and have a lot variation which was nice, for Min Ji is that she need to practice more on it. Their comment for me is that o need to practice more and i need to stop at a time when playing the melody.

Today we wrote our final writting on our composition, on the paper one. Then we were told that the piano students and the violin/cello would have a sudden practical assesment but we were given a bonus point for that. I played it quite well but i did 3-4 mistakes because at first when i played i didn't focues and i did a mistake on my tempo and when doing it i think i did 3 mistakes. We did the two whole session in doing the assesment so we did not have a practical lesson.

Today Mr. Herry check our finale work again, to make sure everyone has submited it, after that Mr. Herry gave the students who are going to do the assesment some practice time for 10 min in their classrooms. Because the piano and the violin/cellos students have already done with their assesments so we watch our assesment videos and we reflect our play. Then the assesment started with Min Ji playing then tha flute lastly the guitar, because there are alot of students we did not have any practical lessons again. And i need to open teoria.com for my theory test.

In theory class today, Mr Herry told us about the assesment practical test that we have to do for our term test that it would practical test. After that he told us about our score one by one and i got 8. I was not really satisfied with it but its okay since i pass the test. Then he disturbuted our HW last time and i got B plus which was not satisfying and depressing after that he discussed about the major 7 more and also minor 7 which was C, G, D, A, E, B, a, e, b, f sharp, c sharp, and last g sharp. In practical class we did some solfeggio four times and i was really bad at it so i need to improve after that i play an A minor harmonic and it was hard even though it was the easiest among the other cleffs so i need to improve on my basic practices.

Today we did our theory quiz which is also our theory assesment but mr. Herry gave us thurshday for a make up test if we did it horribly and choose the best score to be put on our report card. Before we did the assesment he gave us some time to review and also mr. Herry open teoria.com and gave us time to review it by looking at the chords for a few minutes. When we are doing the test he gave us some clues regarding the dominant chords and the sharps and notes. So that we check it again and we now how to do it. After we did our theory assesment he check the 4 first student works and i was one of them he told the class that i got all correct for the scales but i got 4 wrongs on the history of music which was depressing and i will study more for thurshday and review my mistakes so that i will got a perfect score and that it my goal because it was some how depressing to get 4 mistakes on my assesment. Then he showed us our blog updates record and discussed about the blog that some of us really need to update it and he didnt have the chance to check all of our blogs so they need to update it quickly.
In instrument/practical class we play minor harmonic again which was a and b minor harmonic. and it was hard i need topractice on it more.

Today we did our last theory assesment again and it was kind of easy because i study it before and have review my mistakes and the music history in the test i already did my reflection regarding the test too. It was also easy because most of them are repeating the last test so the questions was almost the same excpet there was more invesions questions which i need to focus on and check the mistakes if i make some. So i can do it and i was quite confidence on it too.
In instrument/practical class we played our minor harmonic again and i tried to play e minor harmonic which was really hard and i need to play it really slowly. Since there are a lot of minor harmonic scales i ask mr Herry to limit my scales when in the assesment since i was bad at playing it so he limit it into a, b , and e scales so those are the scales that i need to master for my practical exam later on. We havent practice our composition songs again but we need to memorize it so at home i need to practice it alone and try to memorize my own song. I also need to master the 3 minor harmonic scales if i want to have a good mark on my music exam on December.

Today we learn about the Kodaly sign which is a hand signature of notes, do,re,mi, fa, so, la, si, do. We practice it together from do-do starting it slowly, one by one then we practice it per group. Then he gave us a song Good Morning to be learnt by the Kodaly sign and we have to use two of our hands, then after some practice we have to perform it infront of a group with someone checking our signs. I did quite badly so i need to practice it more.
Then in practical class, we heard the people perform their recital songs for tomorrow it was kind of like a rehearsal for them. It started with Sonya, Karina and then Jacintha then i hear Victoria playing her composition for our exam in December then Viena after that i played my composition and Mr. Herry gave me some more comments on how to improve it. He told me to add more variation where i can kind of stop in the song and took some more tempo and so the melody would be more nice to hear, so i need to work on that and i have to memories my melody for the exam later on.
