New Year January!

first of all, sorry for skipping October till December LOL i'll get back to that! promise!

15 January 201o

today is the first day of music class! we took notes about Jazz and what we'll be learning. we also got handouts. i think that jazz is going to be a fun topic to study! at the instrument class we learned a new song called, ALL OF ME. i did somewhat okay, considering the fact that i dont do reading. i'll practice more on sight reading!

19 January 2010

today we sang "SWAY" by Michael Buble per Instrument Group. then we chose out members for the upcoming JAZZ presentation. My topic is bebop. PERSONALLY, i know NOTHING about bebeop. not. a. single. clue! so that means that i gotta put sum extra effort to research. we played "All OF Me" at the instrument class, surprisingly i did better then the last time and i think that was because i accidentally memorized the song while the others are playing. but still, i gotta practice more on reading!

22 January 2010

Today we sang "Sway" again, and then we brainstormed about the Jazz Presentation, me and my group (Calista, Hasan, and Mark) did some cool things, well by cool things, i meant coloring the paper, and filling it up with rainbows and ponies instead of ideas. but it was fun, i guess we have to be more serious next time :)

29 January 2010

ITS THE ASSESSMENT. BUM BUM BUM. today is the long waited assessment for the song "Sway". I sang with Jeok, who is, of course, my partner. yea, we're a one package deal. LOL. too bad me and jeok got an 8 .. or was it a 7? its somewhere in between. i think we got lows because we ddnt dance. i mean, unlike the other singers, who were, surprisingly, confident enough to embarrass themselves in front of everybody, me and Je-ok preffered to stay LOOOWWW. well i guess dancing would be a fun thing to try, next time then!

Rainy, Rainy, September!

1 September 2009

assessment daaay! today is our most waited for ASSESSMENT day. i performed Tarrantella with cold hands. i did absolutely AWFUL! dang, my hands were LITERALLY shaking! well i mean, i thought we were going to perform in front of the instrument class, but , as usual, i was wrong. and lemme tell you this, playing in front of the whole class is not at all easy! maaan, i wish i could redo the assessment :(

2 September 2009

TODAY! we watched the saxophone and the flute assessment, after that we took notes, as usual, and we learned sum more about the 7th chord and others. in the instrument class, we played those 7th chords, i aced it. it was easy LOL. we learned some of the major and minor chord as well.

Here comes August

4 August 2009

We did the same old same old chords again, and also the major and minor scales. I took sum notes about the G scale. everything went alright till i have to play B minor. dayumm, B minor was hard! oh, and i've picked out the song that i wanted to play for the assessment, its called "Tarrantella"

11 August 2009

So we were playing "The River Flows in You". it was soo dang fun because everybody decided to join in. the class went by as usual, and we practiced our songs for the assessment. i did my song with the pedal today, but it turned out to be uglier than it was before. soo i guess i gotta practice my pedals and stuffs.

12 August 2009

We sang "Heal The World" today, then we (again) practiced the assessment song. we also did the minor scale.

19 August 2009

Today, we learned the seccond song called "Indonesia Raya" then we studied sum chord inversions. then after that, we get together with our music group and discussed our project. I played my song for the assessment today and Mr.Herry says i got 7 out of 10, which is, in my opinion, pretty bad. i need to improve on my hand motions and the fingering.

25 August 2009

Today, i watched the guitar, flute, and piano performance, MAAN, they were BEYOND awesome! they ROCK! wow i think almost everybody is ready for the assessment! and at the instrument class, everyone got a chance to perform. i did my song, and i think i am getting better, but still better is not GOOD enough, so gotta practice practice and practice!

26 August 2009

Today we presented our presentation. My group did the Latin Genre. i think i did BEYOND ugly. i mean, i was shivering, and i think words were like stuck inside my mouth. and then Mr.Herry commented on the background color, he said that it cannot be gray, because gray is dull. and he also told us to speak closer to the mike, which was, in fact, hard :|

27 August 2009

ok, TODAY! today we practiced 7th chord, i did pretty well. but my fingers are still messed up, so i think i might need to practice sum more.

and this marks this month's reflection,
