Today in music class, Mr. Herry explained to us about the final booklet from the student desk to be submitted by monday. Afterwards, we had singing the song INDONESIA PUSAKA individually in front, and I was extremely nervous. I don't know why, but I get nervous when I stand in front for singing and playing instruments though I don't when I speak out in front.
I tried to be attentive as I can in class which was my strong points today, but my nervousness was my best weakness of all. I really want somebody to tell me and help me to not be nervous in performances in music because though I don't want to be nervous I become in the real performance. From now on, I 'll try hard and work hard in being confident and not being nervous in front of others.

Today in music class, we were told to write our scores in our learning journal. The score was called out from Mr.Herry to the whole class, and I was lucky that i got both biographies 8/8. However, my score for performance was 9/10 but I manage to be happy with that. Then, who desired a make up test had them. Then we sang the song INDONESIA PUSAKA.
I was happy that i got good scores in the paper assignments. However, during singing the Indonesia pusaka, i had troubles because of the complexed words. They were hard to pronounce but I was able as I repeated them. From now on, I 'll try to use the youtube whenever I have this kind of problems so that I can learn the songs faster.

Today in music class, we learned the C major scale, D major scale, and the G major scale. We also learned the C7, D7, and the G7. Mr. Herry explained to us about the formula of Major '1-1-1/2-1-1-1-1/2'. We also had a surprise quiz. At last, Mr.Harry's brother Mr.Rudi played trumpet and the french horn. We were able to listen to an unique instrumental sound.
I had hard times in understanding the major scale and the 7s. But I understood at last by the teacher's explanation. However, the quiz was very challenging and was hard for me to do. I enjoyed listening to Mr. Rudi's performace and from next on, I also would like to hear some more unique sounds.

Today in class, we watched our classmate's performance again continuously. They played flute, piano and violin. I did the performance last class, so I spent the time listening and watching others. Mr.Herry then gave us some task. It was to find the song INDONESIA PUSAKA in youtube for the termtest. We had to learn the song individually and prepare. He explained also about the reflection booklet.
Today, I was strong in being attentive to other's performaces but was worried about the INDONESIA PUSAKA because, it was another Indonesian song and it was given to learn by ourselves! From next time, I'll not worry but wil try to find the lyrics as well as the song so that I can learn it by myself. I guess that would also be an great experience.

Today in music, we did the performance. We did it in the order of instrument classes but was unable to finish with the whole class because of time. Some were not prepared but we all did our best. It was also fun listening to others playing their instruments.
I was well prepared for the performance but at the moment, I also was very nervous. I wasn't able to do as well as I did in the practice, but I still think it was the practice which made me at least this much. From now on, I'll try if possible, to participate in more of the performances so that when I get use to it, I don't get nervous and make mistake.

Today in music class, Mr.Herry told us tabout the blogging in internet. We were told t o write a reflection in the blog and to dend the URL to his mail. We also had a rehersal in music class for short time for the performance next class.
I had no difficulties in the rehersal but the blogging seemed complicated. However, I did it easily. From now on, if I have any problems such as the blogging, I will approach to the teachers and will try to solve them by asking.

Today we sang the song HARI MERDEKA and also got another song but didn't learn yet. Later on, we learned how to make a simple composition with the C, G, F codes. It was fun making one bar by one bar from the whole class, and the sony finally came out guite good when Mr.Herry played it.
Though the song was an Indonesian song, it was now familiar to me and I guess that was what I have improved. However, I had some problems in understanding the codes and to use them correrctly. But, when we made a composition together in class, I was able to understand them. From next time, Ill ask for some help for things I don't understand because I found it effective when we did the work in a whole class.

Today in music, we submitted our homework about the biography and discussed about the new presentation we were given. It was a group presentation we had to do next week. Later on, we learned the majors and how to create simple melody with it.
I encountered some difficulties during learning the majors because it seemed to be somthing new. However, I enjoyed to create melodies. From next on, I'll try to understand the theoris of music better so that it is easy for me to develop into other stuffs as a simple melody.

Today in music, we learned the song HARI MERDEKA the Indonesian Independence song. We wrote the lyrics down in our notebook and then learned how to sing it. The melody was somewhat familiar though it was my first time learning it. We also learned the C MAJOR SCALE and MINOR scale as well as the SHARP, FLAT, and the NATURAL.
The song was easy though was my first time learning. But I once again had problems with the names of the music symbols. The scale was somewhat new to me but I didn't have that much hard time in it. From now, I'll really have to work in other country's music and theier ways of saying them. Though music is called the INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE, still I have hard times than learning in my own laguage. I believe these are all expreriences.

Today in music class, we were to submit our homework about pop music. It was a quite big homework to make a booklet about it. We chose our own artists and researched about them and made a booklet. Mr.Herry picked some of us and they presented their work in front and again Mr.Herry asked some quesions. And for the next hw, we were assigned to choose a classical composer for this time and make the same thing, a booklet about it.
During my homework I had some difficulties in summarizing the pop artist's biography but I solved it by finding some words in dictionary and so on. It was asked to be done in my own words so it took me long time. However, from next time, I shall prepare it from then, so that I don't have to do the massive work in a day.
