I was quite good at it since i have already learnt it. The we did some exercise/quiz regarding the scales. Mr Herry also told us, the one that can do a make up test, and i can. Then we heard Mr Rudy Wisny play the trumpet and French Horn. In the practical we just played our Sonatina's again and i repeat it twice. I should practice the 3 parts and do it better. I should also practice on my technique.

Today we discussed about the assesment development booklet that is due on Monday about what we should do, some of us were being punished because they were chatting when the teacher were explaininung and waste some time so we didn't get to have practical class.

1 September 2009, Tuesday

Today we're having people's performances for their assesment score for the one that is absent last week and for the ones that haven't perfomed. After the performance we also discussed about the blog's and the reflection that we made and what we will have to do for term test about the portfolio and that we have to learn and sing "Indonesia Pusaka". Some of us did not perform so we just listen to them and did our reflection of what we learn today.

In practical we learn some chords that we wukk need to know when we're composing and playing our song(composition). At first we actually wanted to watch our last performance and did a reflection on that but because of some problems we just learn some piano skills from the teacher and listen to his comment about our performance in the assesment and he said that i can do a make up test if i wanted too. We then wrote the notes of the skills he told us in the music book and later on at home we have to practice it for the next class that is on Thurshday.

27/08/09

Today we did our assesment and i did it really badly because I was really scared and the note that was easy, I played it wrong the note that i can do it correctly become wrong when I played it in the assesment so I want a make up test! The one that can have it is when they're marks are below 6 and i think mine are below 6 because i did some major mistakes. Since the time is not enough and since it is assesment we didnt have any practicel lessons but I have to practice for the make up test.
