today, we reviewed our blog updating. a lot of students who did not update the blog. unfortunately for them, since they did not update their blog they had to stay at the library as the punishment. there were only about eight students who could stay inside the class. after that, my teacher told the students who stay inside the class (including myself) to make a commercial song (four bars for the day). i decided to use piano, flute, guitar,and violin for my own creation. i will continue my work on the music commercial since it is my project.

week 2 (term 4)
13/04/10
This day was our assessment day on singing “I got Rhythm” song. Unfortunately, in this assessment we did not do it with a partner. We had to do it by ourselves. Since my name is started with letter “A”, so I did it first. I was feeling nervous since it was my first time in singing by my self. This nervous feeling made me did a little mistake on the beginning part of the song. The mistake was wrong lyric. Fortunately, it just happened for a while. Even though I did a little mistake at the beginning, I still could finish the song attractively and not out of pitch. After the performances, my teacher told us about our score on the assessment. I don’t know how, but I got 9 for the assessment. Since I will have a group performance, I will practice on “Sway” song which will be played for our group performance.

In this meeting, we reviewed the jazz and chord materials for our written test. The review held for only five minutes. Actually, I did not prepare anything for this exam since I was not in a good health. After having our review, we did the assessment. Fortunately, I could answer most of the questions quite well since I remember some of the bebop knowledge from the questions making day. For the chords part, I felt quite confidence since I just had to remember the form of the chords. Hopefully I could get a good score for this written assessment. After that, we did our blog review. My teacher said that I have to add one more video. So, I will add the next practice video on my blog.

week 1 (term 4)
06/04/10
It was our first meeting on the forth term. In this meeting, we learned and did a rehearsal on 7th and 9th chords. After that, I wrote five questions on with the answers on a piece of paper. The questions are asking about Bebop genre which was my genre for the recent group presentation. Then, my teacher gave us a new task. The task is to record our practice on the song which will be performed by a group. So, we were divided into four groups. My group consists of Alri, Fina, Ian, Kevin, and me. Since my group decided to sing “Sway” song, so I will practice on the song.

In this day, we reviewed jazz genres. The one that my group reviewed is about Bebop. The way how we reviewed the genre is by using the recent five questions and combines those questions until we have ten questions. Then, after we had wrote the questions, the other group asked us or tested us about our knowledge by asking the questions that we had made. Since my group could answer all questions correctly, I can say that my group is pretty well on understanding Bebop genre. After that, we sang “I Got Rhythm” song together. Beside that, the other new thing that happened during this day is Echo joined my group for the upcoming group performance. Since I am going to have theory test, I will study on the theory such as the chords.
