In this video i tried to play my Jazz music with the new style that Mr Harry gave me. It was quite hard and i practiced it fast this time which is why i got the tempo confused and there were some mistakes. In this playment i focused on the bass and the chords because i need that for my Jazz group playment to sound better and more creative. The ending were also quite different and im still trying to figure it out. I need to practice it more slowly so that i my hands and mind could memorise and go on with the tempo then i could increase the tempo. I would need to make myself to get used to the style to by practicing it more.
In this video i still forgot to slow down the tempo when i played my melody and made some mistakes. My fingers and the tempo, the style was different and im confused. I need to make myself to be used to it first by practicing more of the song. The ending in this video is also quite good but i still want to try new endings and try to see if it fits when we play it in the group. I need to slow down and try to keep my left hand in the beat because it is hard. I think adding variations with my left hand is harder than it is on the right. Which is why i need to practice it more slower. I will practice more of this melody and changes in the future.

Term 4 Video- 2
In this video i played the jazz melody of Summer Time again. I didnt play the whole song and the tempo was quite wrong. I kind of increase the tempo in the middle of the song because i was in quite a hurry, i should be more calm next time. There were also some mistakes and it is hard to practice with a picture on the phone, i should transfer it to a paper soon. I should practice more slowly so that i could have a stable tempo and for me to memorize the song to prepare for my assessment performance on May. I should also add some improvisations too.
In this video i played the melody again with a slower tempo to make it easier to memorize the song but it is quite stable although there were wrongs and destroyed the tempo quite a bit. There is still no new improvisations and i didnt play the whole song again. However, i tried to change the ending in this video and created 2 types of ending but it didn't went so well and i still need to improve it. I will need to practice more and try to see if there are some place to add improvisations with. I am also still using my phone as the notes, on my next practice i should already transfer it.

Term 4 Video- 1
In this video i practiced my jazz song for my assessment in groups. I didn't play all of the song because it is just a repitition so i just played the main notes and chords. There were still some mistakes and i had many stops in the middle and the beginning was a mess too. Thankfully, the tempo was done quite nicely. It is because i haven't been practicing well thesedays. I am also not familiar with the chords and are still searching for it all over, repeating the notes which was really horrible. I will need to practice this song a little bit slower and more frequently next time.
In this video i practiced my jazz song again. As usual i didn't play the whole song but just the notes which are not repeated. I played it twice and quite fast. I forgot to play it slower i was also looking at a phone not a book so it is harder to see. Next time i need to practice slower so that my hand could memorize the changes of chords, movements and i could play it without mistakes. In this video i played the song quite well but it was too fast and there were stops and mistakes. However i still need to practice it more so that i could avoid mistakes when i am feeling nervous and practice my fingers because i haven't been playing piano lately.

Term 4- Reflection
Wednesday, 6 April'11
Today we were discuss some music roles in the society. The discussion was clear and specific which helped me to find new things about music power to the society. After we choose our own group and were divided into groups for our group presentation on it. Then Mr Herry explained to us about jingle music, what is it about and gave some examples of it on youtube. He also showed us some jingle music from our seniors. The music they made was really good and it fits their theme. I listened well and try to feel the music like Mr Herry told us to do. I also made some comments about it during the discussion of jingle music and its examples. It was really enjoyable. Next time i will need to do the power point presentation for my next assessment. In practical class, i practice my jazz song again with my instrument teacher and were given some advices, i try to do and apply it when we were told to go to our groups. I played well and tried to managed the tempo nicely, hear each other because it is a group performance. I applied the advice Mr Herry told me about too.

Then each of us went infront and tell the class what our contents in the presentation will be about. We said that we will discuss 3 music roles, we wrote it on a a3 paper and presentate our work well. I read it with a loud voice so my classmates could hear me. I should improve on the ideas of the power point presentation and make the presentation in groups for next week. I will also need to make the jingle music draft on finale like i was told to do. In the practical time, we went to our seperate groups again and we practiced together until it was time. I have some mistakes and were left behind during the play. However i can manage the tempo well. I will practice this song more so that our performance can be good.
Wednesday, 13 April'11
Today we did our group presentation about music role in the society. My group did well and we have the survey of some people, even though it was really little but we were the only group which had it. Our presentation were also organized. After we're done, we were told to also judge and give some marks to the other groups who did the presentation based on 3 criterias and make some comments, give marks A-D. After we finished the group presentation we were told about the other class presentations and were compared. The other class's report was really cool. It was a lot of effort and the people who didn't do well on this test were given another chance. I also submitted my finale work today and were told about the assessment that we need to do on Friday. The assessment rehearsal. So i should practice more of my song and together with my group for the assessment.
Friday, 15 April'11
Today we did our group rehearsal. However we judge and watch Nissa's group presentation first, i gave them some B's because it seems to lack information and surveys. After that we were given some time to practice and then we did the rehearsal and give some opinions on the others performance. Our reheasal was quite a success and it is said that it is near satisfactory than any of the other groups. The "All of Me" group also performed well and i judge them to have a good score while the other group need to practice together, they played well too but they still play individually. Our group were told to improve our balance, add more improvisations, and more playings on the melody. Next time i need to practice more and add some improvisations to the song for our final assessment on Jazz.
Wednesday, 20 April'11
Today we listen to our friends finale and gave some comments on what it is fit for an ads. Our class finales were quite good some were really cheerful but most of them were sad and kind of funny. Mine was sad and kind of horror in the sound, it was quite funny to hear and also it kind of satisfy me although i would want to create something that is cheerful, my melody passes as a war/horror fairytale song and it was kind of good and funny at the same time. However, i think i need to change some of the notes to make it better again. We were also told to choose our group and song for our singing assessment on next wednesday. After that in practical class our Jazz group, tried to add some improvisations and changes to our playing. Mine was more focused on the bass and kind of variate the playing more and it is quite harder, the tempo also changed and kind of confused me. However i did quite well and it sounded nicer. I will practice the new style and try to memorise it. I will practice more at home to master the song and prepare well, also for me to choose and practice singing with my singing group for the next assessment.
Friday, 22 April'11
Today we were on a holiday. Therefore at home i will need to practice our singing for the next assessment and my Jazz song so that when we practice at school i will already master the song.
Wednesday, 27 April' 11
Today were supposed to be our singing assessment dates but because most of us aren't prepared and ready for it the singing assessment was postpone to be on Friday. However we still had our rehearsal which is today. Our group sang "Love Story" because it was the easiest and the most remembered song for us. We aren't prepared well because we kept changing the song as it was hard for us to choose one. After that we assessed our friends and give comments for them. We also didnt had any practical class so next time i need to practice my jazz song on my own and my group need to practice or decide a song real fast since the assessment is on Friday.
Friday, 29 April' 11
Today me and my group singins assessment came late because we were practicing our song with Mr Hary. We sang firework for the singing assessment. It was quite a mess since our tone are not really combining and we forgot the lyrics at the end which was embarassing. However overall i think it was quite good. After that we made some comments for other groups so that they could be assesed by Mr Herry more and were asked one by one. It was quite entertaining and i chose Imez group to be the best duet since Imez and Rifky sang really well and they had a good song to pick which was suited for them
In the instrument class we didn't practice much and i still need to practice my tempo because it is quite messy and i am the one who lead the tempo so next time i need to really master and practice it.
Wednesday, 4 May'11
Today Mr Herry told us about our Jingle group that we need to practice more than once a week or not just in class as a group because he wanted the show to be great since he gave us a lot of time. However, our group and most groups didn't practice much just on class or during snack time which is bad. Next week we are planning and should practice as a group together after school. After that we listened to our friends jingle and then write our reflection or comment about it for their improvements on the jingle drafts. We read each of our refelctions when being called and i think i gave some good feedbacks which is great and Mr Herry also teached us on how to give good feedbacks that could motivate other people. I tried to apply it and it was great, i listened to their jingle carefully and wrote what i think about it. My friends told me taht i need to edit the ending of the jingle to make it better, it sounded like a war or a game, not really horror but quite happy too which made me confused what it is good to advertise. Next time for the final draft i need to improve the ending and i need to practice my jazz song on my own since there are no practical class for the jazz performance.
Friday, 6 May'11
Today we listened to Adrian and Greg's performance since they didn't perform for their assessment last week. They sounded quite good but they need to release their voice more and prepare better since the ending was left hanging and unfinished. However they delivered the message of the song quite well. After that the teacher showed us some videos of music genre to show us that we need to deliver our passion and enjoyment to the audience, that we need to be able to enjoy any type of genre and not be resist by one of them. That music is a universal languange, i tried to absorbed it and i really do think so too. After that we had our Jazz Group rehearsal performance. We had the teachers to comment on us. They said that we performed well, good tempo, well collaboration and preparation. It satisfied me and our hardwork seem to be paid off! However, we need to practice more and keep up the good work, try to make the music sounds more entertaining just like their comments.
We didn't have any instrument class which is why we need to schedule a practice together after school to play and practice our Jazz song, making it perfect together.
Wednesday, 11 May'11
Today Mr. Harry asked for our final jingle finale. I gave in mine and did it nicely. I changed some parts of the song and handed it in on time. Next time i need to create a much better jingle though since it is not really well made. After that Mr. Herry showed us videos of our rehearsal for us to be able to reflect and perform better. My group performed well but it was kind of boring thats why in the practical class we should make some changes.
In practical class we practice our jazz song right away. We add some improvements and had a row of fast music so the audience would not be bored and practice it. Mr Harry and Herry gave us some edits on our playments that i should memorise. I repeated the notes and was able to memorise some of it but it was not completely fluent. At home i will repeat the song and memorise it so that i could play it fluently next time.
Friday, 13 May'11
Today we have guests in class who composed Lilin-Lilin Kecil who is James Sundah and Pricillia Sundah. They performed in front of us and encourage us to take music as our major to save Indonesia's music. We listened well and are in awe. After that we made our jingle composition reflection to be handed in. I managed to fill all of the spaces with my words and are able to clearly tell my feelings onto the sheet. Then we were given our learning habits sheet to fill in on Term 4, i filled some of it but it was not finished yet. Next time i need to complete the sheet to be handed in.
In practical class, we practiced our song throughly again and Mr Harry changed some of my parts again which made me confused. I tried to keep up but it was kinda a mess. So next time i need to practice more and ask him again on what i should do when Tiffany is the bass.
Wednesday, 18 May'11
Today we were given 5 minutes to plan our pattern of playing and discuss our song before having a rehearsal. We discuss it well and did our rehearsal. The rehearsal was quite bad because we didn't really practice beforehand. The playment, tempo and balance of the song were not really perfect like last time. Our group need to rearrange ourself and practice together a lot more
In the practical class, we practice our songs together. I played quite well during the practice but i still need to master and keep the tempo well match. I need to play softer, as last time i was too loud in balance. After that we listen the last group performed. Next time i need to practice my song and try to listen to my group mates.
Friday, 20 May'11
Today we had another rehearsal again to prepare us for next week's final assessment. We did quite well but i am still confused and are unprepared to play the 3rd fast pattern in the performance. I need to practice and memorize the song more. After that Mr Herry told us about the graduation ceremony and that some of us will need to perform and get an extra mark on our report cards.
In practical classs, i practice my song with the whole group and ask mr Hary about how i should play the song when it is fast. I managed to understand and practice my role on the 3rd playment or pattern of the song. However, i still haven't fully memorised the tone and chords for the 3rd one. Therefore i will need to memorise it at home for the assessment date.
