Today the rest of the students who haven't sang, sung. That includes me. I thought i did quite well although i forgot one word of the song. Good thing it was only a rehearsal and not the real assessment because i could have done a lot better. After that we reviewed last session's scales and the homework. I did well and helped out others who did not know how to do the scales.

During the instrument class we tried doing the strumming technique the teacher told us but it was really difficult and requires a lot of practice. We basically just talked around and the teacher giving us a examples of different songs and strumming techniques. Next time I should be uploading videos already.

Today was the second week of Grade 10 and the first music class of the week. Today, some of us sang the national song called "Bagimu Negeri". There were around 4 people who performed today because we did not have enough time. We reviewed major scales today and were told to make 5 different scales for next class. C G D A E.

During instrument class, we learnt various finger exercises. Mr John is still away and so there was a substitute teacher. He is very good with the guitar. We played the songs we know and that was it.
