TERM 2 - Reflection no.3

October, 15, 2009

Today in music, we sang the song GUNDUL PACUL in groups.
We sang out loud in front of the class, in instrument groups.
Then, we learned the patterns again in composing (AA'BB'...... and more)
but it was in 8bars.
The 8bars composition made our melody more like a real song,
because the extended length of the song made it seem like a pop music.
We also got homeworks to put lyrics on our compositions by next class.

My strengths were shown in singing GUNDUL PACUL since
I've prepared and learned it at home.
However, the problem was in composing a 8bar melody.
Different from 4bars, it formed a quite long song, but it was more difficult to form.
Again, a simple melody was what helped me.
I created a simple 8bar melody. In future, I'll have to experience composing more,
so that when I compose a melody, I don't get confused nor struggle.
