Today, we had our singing assessment. We had to sing the song "I Got Rhythm". We had been practicing this song quite a while. We also had to memorize the lyrics. If we decide to bring the lyrics with us during the assessment, our score will be deducted, so i memorized it. When i performed, i decided to be expressive, so that i could get a higher score on the expression part. Because i was too focused on the expression, my voice becomes out of tune, and i got switched on the lyrics. it was supposed to be "i don't mind him" first, but instead, i sad "you won't find him" first. It was a catastrophe. I was also very nervous at that time. It was embarrassing when i made that mistake. I was also very not satisfied with the score, which is 8.5. I know it is because of the lyric mistake i made. Even kevin who did not move/dance got 9, so i learned that i should not focus on expression next time. I also should not be nervous in the coming assessments, so that i will not make any more mistakes. I should start study on my jazz type (bebop), and study scales and making chords (7th, major 7, minor 7, 9, 11) for the upcoming music test.
