Today was the music written test. I thought that there will be no test today, because mr. Herry promised to give us the questions for our test. But then, i found out in the morning that mr. Herry decided not to give us the questions, because it will be then too easy. It was sent on around 9:45, but sadly, i already slept at that time. But i am ready for the notation and the history anyway. We started with watching a video of a jazz band. They practiced really hard. The band consist of trumpets, drums, and many more instruments. Then, we started the music test. First, there were questions about jazz music, and about my jazz type (bebop). Then, there was the notation part. we had to make scales (c major, for instance), then make the chords with the scale. We had 40 minutes to do the test, and i think that the time was too little. I had to do it quickly, so there was no time to double check. The questions about jazz was hard, because i think that the class was not told that there will be questions about jazz music, and i thought that it was only about our jazz type, which is bebop for me. I think that i did quite well in the test, even though i finished it at the last minute. I should be more prepared with upcoming tests, so that i could get a higher mark
