Term 1 Week 12 - Term 2 Week 1-2

18/10/11
Today we didn't have much to do. First I had to submit my MDW. I had not sticked my screenchots, but I guess it's fine. We then got a sheet of paper with music genre info inside. Using the sheet, Sir Herry asked us questions on the genres. Unfortunately, we then received a new task, which involved surveying people on their musical genre taste.

Today we first got back all of our compositions, including samples of compositions created byour classmates. We also had to make our 8-bar versions for our AA'BA', which was somewhat easy. In instrument class, I mostly watches Mr. John teach Dhanes songwriting tips and tricks. I also learned how to create accompanyingchords along with the melody.

26/10/11
Today we got this reflection booklet for the first time. Following that, we practiced "Indonesia Pusaka", and I'm probably bonna sing that with Jordi. Finally, we got our new compositions checked again. In instrument class, we watched a video of a youtube artist's rendition of Indonesia Pusaka, which was rather inspirational (despite the fact that it bears little resemblance to the real song).

1/11/11
Today, first off we wrote our final drafts of our compositions on the paper that Mr. Herry gave us. We also had to rehearse Indonesia Pusaka again, as we had the assessment tomorrow. In instrument class, we then learned several chords for Indonesia Pusaka, in case any of us wanted to use the guitar. It was played on the D key, and I also got to practice my composition there.

2/1/11
Today, we had our assessment of singing Indonesia Pusaka. Some of the singing was really good, like Shafiera and Astri's performance. My performance on the other hand, was ok in my opinion. I was rather nervous as usual, but I think I was able to pull through in the end. I really have to find a way to face stage fright though.
