Week 8

20/9/11
Today we watched people do some revision on the 7th chords. I sort of realized that I might have made a crucial mistake on my test. That aside , I then watched Cindy sing her song. It was rather nice and then we watched rehearsal. I now have to try to master my song or I'll probably get a bad score.

Today I had to rehearse my guitar classical piece. It was called Romance Del Amor. I didnt do too good while playing because my picking wasnt loud enough and I was very nervous. My test scores were also rather disappointing. I still have to redo my music as I really have to improve myself this term.

Weeks 6-7

7/9/2011
Today we just learned more about the 7th chords. This time it was raher informative and I understood it all more this time. All this thinfo will probably help in my song-making endeavours, so it will be good for me to learn this chords. It will also expand my musical knowledge, so long as I can apply them in practical usage.

Today once again, we reviewed on 7th chords. We seem to be reviewing on them a lot, but I think its needed as many of us still haven't really grasped the concept. We got a revision sheet and it was pretty simple for me. Several people also performed their classical pieces in front. Each of the performances were good, and I guess I need to pick a song fast.

Today we did our 7th chord notation test. It was pretty easy as I got a good grip on the topic already. I was very careless though, forcing me to cross out many notes. I have to be more careful in notation tests in the future. I also have to be able to use these chords to create songs or all the theory lessons would be useless.

Weeks 4-5

16/8/2011
Today we had to do our music presentation on the different genres of the world. So, first off I watched Sarah's group and Adam Reikhan's group. They had good presentations, but Adam's team seemed to lack in the info department. I was very nervous for our presentation, as we lacked preparation. Luckily, once again we got skipped. Sadly, we have to sing for the Independence Day Ceremony.

23/8/2011
Today Mr.Herry was absent, so we got a theory lesson from Mr John instead. It was just a rerun on the usual scales exercises, which most of the new students didnt r=really understand yet. Nico did though. It was good to refresh my memory on the subject though. We also learned the proper placement of the clefs and sharps. And it was nice because we also got longer instrument class for once.

Today my team finally did our group slide presentation. It was rather rough as most of us were unprepared. Adam Bahfen and Raka didnt really seem to know their topics very well. Perhaps they just copy pasted info? But im not sure. I only had to talk about the introduction and conclusion. As usual I just improvise, and as usual it turns out pretty well. However, this meant that I had the rather easy job in the end. Well, it felt good to finally get it over with.
