Today, had a revision regarding the major chords and major seven chords. I was questioned by Mr. John about a A flat major scale. After a moment of thought i am able to answer his question correctly. We didn't do much today. I spent most of my time at the mic today singing pop songs to the class while they're busy doing other things. Not much happened today.

Next i am going to copy all my blog entry to my music book as part of the personal engagement mark.

Today, we listed the scores we got on the four assessments we had. I am very happy with my score as I did pretty well. I am most happy with my music notation results because for me that was the toughest one and the one i'd expect to get bad on, other than playing the classical piece. My area of expertise is really just singing pop songs and doing presentations. But i did well on the notations, 8 of 8 and 29 of 30, near perfect. i was really happy. As for the classical piece, i had trouble with the tempo. But then i got to play the song again and got a 8.5 from an embarrassing 6.5. so it was all good.

I didn't really had any instrument class today as i decided to watch other students perform their song as it is to be posted on the exhibition. I didn't perform because i am not nearly as mastering my classical song. Next i am going to keep working on my other blog, IDU with tech

Today, we got our scores for the musical note assessment. I got a nearly perfect score which i am really proud of. My only mistake was one that i had totally no idea of. In a way i got my answer spot on but in piano its wrong. Too bad i don't play piano, at least not much anymore. I had a redo for my practical classical song today, i increased my score to 8.5 from an embarrassing 6.5. It was all good.

During instrument class we don't really do much. Next i am going to continue to post my entries and continue my project the one music has a IDU with technology

Today I was not expecting to be having any sort of of assessments. But apparently musical notations was indeed today. I did not panicked though, i knew i know all of them and that it would not be so hard. So i was confident about it and i think i managed to do a decent job on it. It was quick test and afterwards we had a long interment class session which we never had. Usually it was cut short due to the things we need to discuss during theory. But today was different.

We did not do much in instrument class really, that was because mr john was waiting for the others to finish their tests. We learnt a bit more about grenade today and for the next session, i would just work on my pro folio regarding me playing my classical song for the IDU with technology class

Today, we had to perform our classical song. I performed fur elise. I made a few mistakes, mostly because i didn't really believe myself that i could do the whole thing spotless. Now i know that i should be confident no matter what. I saw all the others perform too, they were really good and i really enjoyed the whole thing. Next lesson i am going to review my notes skills and continue practicing fur elise so that i can maybe increase my score.

During instrument class we are starting to learn grenade by bruno mars. We were told to bring a capo for the next lesson because to play the song we need it.
