Term 2 week 4-6

14/10/10
Today I did some musical composition because I was absent at the day I was supposed to make it. I guess it was easy to do, and pretty much any notes put together will end up sounding good. Then we learnt the ABACA pattern, which we had to do for homework. That will probably take a while. I guess it was an ok lesson.

Today we had about 40 minutes of Mr Herry checking our HW. This obviously took a lot of time, but I guess that was good as we got to instrument class faster. He then played some of our musical compositions. I dont see why he picked Rama's music though. Even Rama said it was lame.

Today I came late into the class, which sucked a lot frankly. Then we had to hand in our Finale. On the bright side, I did mine. Unfortunately, I only did one line as I didn't know how to set it into four bars per line. Strangely, Mr Herry was fine with that. At least he looked fine.

25/10/10
Today we first checked everyone's Finale files. As it turns out, my Finale was 2011, which made it incompatible with Mr Herry's. Hopefully this doesnt mean I have to redo the thing. We then had to expand our 4 bars into 8 bars. I found that rather easy, but the incompatibility issue was really lame.

28/10/10
Today we had to put up lyrics alongside our compositions. That was really hard for me because I kept writing inappropriate lyrics. I really don't see what's so bad about writing sucks. However, I had to keep changing it, which was frustrating. I had to brighten up the lyrics, and after what felt like hours I finished the thing.

Term 2 week 1-3

20/9/10
Today we didnt really do much of anything. We then watched Derrick performing, he sounds ok. Unfortunately for him, he had an untuned string, which made it sound lame. Then we had to make F major and Bb scales, which sort of wasted our time. We then got back our scores, which I found rather good for me.

23/9/10
Today we had a mock written test for us. We had to write inversions and chords of different notes. I find it easy for all except for the Bb scale, because I got rather confused. I have a bad feeling about the exam though, as its written, which I sort of suck at.

30/9/10
After I skipped monday due to famnily death, I get stuck in thursday with the assessment. I found it a lot easier than I thought. However, I think I missed some minor chords because I got confused by the flat of the 2nd note. Then we saw Mr Herry singing for our singing assessment. Unfortunately he cant reach some notes. Lolz

4/10/10
Today we had our singing assessment. We had to sing the song called "Indonesia Pusaka", which is a traditional Indonesian song. I didnt really like the song, and I felt way more nervous than I did while singing "A Little Too Not Over You". So I think I could sing a lot better if it was some other song.

7/10/10
Today I sang the song "Somewhere Out There" with Rama. It felt awesome with Rama because he's like a really good singer, so I felt way more confident. My voice actually fit with the song and his voice. I really have to work on my confidence though, coz I always feel really nervous while singing.
