Music Reflection: December'09

1/12/09, Tuesday
Today we learn about the Kodaly signs again and we practice it together. After we get its basics the teacher gave us a new song to learn which is London Bridge. We practice the song with Kodaly sign, with two hands which was quite hard. We practice it again and again with Mr. John and Mr Herry than we did it one by one from do-do. After we gets the notes and the signs and we remember it the teacher called us by pairs to perform it in class. Next time i need to perform it better.
In practical we practice our songs and one scale which was E minor harmonic scale and then when i play my composition he gave me some advice for the ending so it will be more variative. After that we did some hearing quizz in 4 bars and the the teacher, Mr Herry repeated it for 4 times and when we exhange our works to be corrected i got the notes and the beats correctly and i was happy and i feel that i have an improvement but i need to practice more on my hearing skills since i cannot catch the notes quickly.

3 Dec'09, Thurshday.
Today Mr herry checked our HW which was the finales and the development program that we need to do in our holidays, to make sure that everybody have send him the email. I gave my development program earlier so i got and extra mark on it. Then he gave us our theory assesment and i got a full mark which was 40 out of 40 and i was really happy that i didnt do silly mistakes which i likely did. After that Mr Herry told us to do the rehearsal which was started with the Guitar, Violin, Piano and Flute which was decided by playing "gamsuit" so it'll be fair for everyone. I was the 3rd to play in the piano group and because of the time that was not enough so i didnt get to play it which was lucky since i am not really good at playing the scales so i need to practice on the scales much often. Since because it was near the exam we didnt have any practical lessons and was doing just rehearsal. When we rehearse mr John and Mr Hary watched over us, and Mr Herry told us that in the next lesson which was on Thurshday we will gave us our overall score except from our semester exam that will be added after we did the exam.
