About the Baroque booklet

Wednesday, 25th April 2012

Today, we discussed more about the Baroque booklet. We looked at our assessment schedule and saw that we had to do a written test on Baroque stuff. I never really read the booklet, so I started doing so. I only learned about the composers. I also want to learn more about the music style.

More and more DISCUSSION

Friday, 20 April 2012

Today, we discussed about the Baroque booklet and the use of it, which was the fact that we could undersrand about Baroque music style, composers and the type of songs they used to composed back in the day. Mr Hary was sick, so we joined the Violin class. We all played C major ( for woodwing), and A Major (for violin), and gave ourselves an applause.

Assessment Time - SOLO SINGING

Wednesday, 18 April 2012

Today, in Music Theory, we had our singing assessment. The song was easy to sing because it had very little lyrics. I was quite nervous but I did not mess up that much. I think it was because I prepared a lot. We did not have instrument class today.

Practice Singing

Friday, 13

Today, the song lyrics were distributed and we found out that the song name is 'Santa Lucia' (san-ta lu-chee-ah). We practiced singing it in different keys. It was difficult to sing. We also practiced singing in the instrument class, too. I can't reach the high notes, though. :(

TERM BREAK IS OVER!

Wednesday, 10 April 2012

Today is the first session of the Music Theory class after the term break. It is announced that we will have a solo singing assessment, only that the lyrics are in Italian. The lyrics aren't given out yet and we spent most of the time talking to each other. During the instrument class, we didn't actually play or practice with the instruments since Mr Hary wanted us to practice our vocal chords.

Assessment Day

Wednesday, 25th January 2012

Today, our class had the Indonesian Song Singing Assessment. We all picked "Hari Merdeka" as our song, because it was shorter and therefore, easier to memorize. There were multiple high notes I couldn't reach (my voice is quite low). Mr. Sadrakh was there staring at us so I couldn't concentrate. But overall, I think this was a great Music Theory session.

Assessment Date Relocation

Friday, 20th January 2012

Today, we did some Music Notation work and I got 2/5! I need to be more keen and precise when I do these so I can improve. Mr. Sadrakh told us that we have to sing an Indonesian song for our assessment. It is in pairs. The selection of songs are "Berkibarlah Benderaku" and "Hari Merdeka". The original assessment date was today, but then, it go moved to next Wednesday, 25th January 2012. I am glad because I get more practice time.
