This is my last video upload. I played my C, D, and E major scale, then i practiced for the Fly Me To The Moon. In the solo, i mad mistakes at first, because i was looking at the pc to see how much time do i have left, so i get distracted. I think overall i did well, and i hope that i can remember the good times and all the things i have learned in the music class. Goodbye music class. Thanks to all teachers that have taught me in the music class.

Today, The instrument class was replaced with group practice for the practical exam. My group practiced the song "Fly Me To The Moon". I think that we did not do well, because vilhel forgot the chords, and she had to catch up, so we did a little progress. I hope that we can find another time to practice, and i hope that we can perform well on the exam day, and get a good score on the report card.

I again played stairway to heaven in this video. The original song is by Led Zeppelin, but the classical arrangement is made by Jubing Kristianto. I think that i did better than last time, with a bit of improvement in the arrangement. I should practice more, so i could master the song

In this video, i played the C, D, and E major scales. I learned this from Mr. John in the instrument class. I played it three times with different speed. I think that i did well, and i perfectly memorized the scales. I think i should learn and practice more scales

Today, We learned transposing, but what's different with yesterday is that we transpose from one scale to another, not between clefs. It was quite challenging. Mr Herry explained it in front of the class briefly, and we have to transpose a song called "Alice In Wonderland" from C scale to G scale. I am new in notation, so it was quite hard for me, but eventually, i finished it with some effort. Since the time is limited, we only have to do minimum 16 bars, and i did more than 16 bars

Today, I learned a new skill, which is listening skill. Mr. Herry played some notes in the C scale, and we will have to note down the notes that he played. After that, we all have to play the scales we have learned in the instrument class. In the guitar class, i learned the scale C, D, and E. I think that i did well, because i got perfect in the listening skill practice, and i played the C, D, and E scales correctly. I should learn more scales, and practice my listening, so that my listening skills get better, and i could improvise with the scales.

Then, we went to the instrument class, and learn scales for the test. I think that i did well today. I was attentive. I think i should practice the scales

today was the submission for the final 16 bar jingle for our product on business class. I decided to make no changes from the draft that i have submitted last Friday, because i think that it is good enough. In the class, Mr. Herry checked our reflection on the blog, journal, and our video blogs. Also, he showed us Daud's 16 bar jingle, because Mr. Herry said that it has a good structure, and he hoped that we can learn from it. Then, we went to the instrument class to learn some scales. I think that i did well today, and i had learned a lot in the istrument class. I should start practicing the scales on my guitar

Today was the group performance assessment. My group was the second to perform. We played the song "Fly Me To The Moon", and i played the chords with my guitar. I think that our group did well, but according to the feedbacks from my friends which we have to make at the end of the class, the violin could not be heard. Overall, i am very happy with our performance. I think that i should practice more with my guitar, so that my guitar skills will be better.

In this video, i played the song "Nina Bobo". It is an Indonesian Craddle Song. The classical arrangement is made by Jubing Kristianto. I played it with tremolo style, since i want to practice my tremolo. I think that i did not play really well, because i have not practiced tremolo for a long time, and my fingernails length was not the same with other fingers. My index fingernail was shorter than the other, so i had problems with tremolo. I think that i should practice tremolo more with various songs, so i will not get bored practicing tremolo with just one song

Today, more of my friends submitted their 16 bar business jingle practice, but i did not, because i was sick. I had a fever and a stomachache. Only a few of us still did not make the 16 bar business jingle practice. Again, we listened to the .MUS files that just have been submitted today. Mr. Herry gave some feedbacks and comments to the class. I actually have made the jingle in my notebook for about 8 bars. I should continue making my 16 bar business jingle practice, and write them with the Finale software after making them in my music book

Tuesday, 27 April 2010

Today, some of my friends (not inluding me) submitted their 16 bar jingle exercise using Finale software. They bring their USB drives, and copy their .MUS files to the school computer. After the jingle exercise submission, Mr. Herry opened some of the .MUS files, and played them in front of the class. After hearing the jingle, Mr. Herry gave comments and feedbacks to improve, so that the real business product jingle will be better. Mr. Herry also said that the intro and the ending should be different, and they should be also not the same with the middle of the song. I should start making my jingle, and make the jingle based on what he said
