Today in music, firstly we played the Indonesian traditional instrument called the angklung. When one group composed a song with kodaly, the other group was to recognize the kodaly signs and play the melody with the angklung. Afterwards, we listened to our friends, (the piano and the flute groups), rehearsing their scales and composition for the practical exam. At last, we revised our QUIZ (written assessment) together in ways of Mr.Herry asking questions to us. Oh! at the very last, we had a photoshot since today was our last day of music in the whole semester.
Playing angklung was again a new experience. It was very fun playing and I liked it a lot.
Also, listening to our friends playing their songs was somewhat pleasing and easing. But most of all, I liked the photoshot. I can't believe that today was my last day in music class. I'm grieved......... Anyways thank you Mr.Herry and other music teachers for teaching us for a semester~!!!!:)

TERM 2 - Reflection no.17
December, 3, 2009
Today in our music session, we did the rehearsal for our practical exam.
Us, the string group and the guitar group did our own
scale and our own composition of 32 bars. I did the c major scale and the
g major scale. I was able to do the c major well, but not the g major.
By Mr.Harry's help I was able to finish the g major scale.
My problem today was that I was still not familiar with different scales.
So, I concluded that I will have to study and practice more harder for my
music pratical exam. I was relieved since it was a practice today.
And I found out that today's difficulties I've faced, will motivate me
to prepare for the exam. In the future, I'll have to study to play different kinds of
scales with my cello.

Today in music class, I again learned the kodaly,
but in more complexed way. We exercised by trying the song called
London Bridge, and we tried playing it in front of class.
Today, my strength was that I've improved more when
comparing my skill from the previous class.
I was somewhat happy that I improved. However,
when exercising a new song, again the difficulties were to be faced.
I was again confused, and was to slow to produce a fluent song by using
the kodaly. I find out that in next class, I'll have to prepare more
to be able to use this kodaly fluently in simple songs.

Today in music we learned the kodaly.
We firstly used 1 had, then 2 hads and also tried out
do re mi fa so la si do in the reversed way.
After learning the very basic, we exercised by trying the good morning song
with the kodaly. At last, we checked each other together by groups.
The difficulties I encountered were that I couldn't do the kodaly when we were suppose to do it fast. When it was slow, I was able to memorize it and do it in the right way.
However, when I was to do fast, I got mixed up, and finally was unable to do it.
I guess it was because I was slow in adapting the kodaly, since it was a totally new topic I've learned until now. From next on, I'll have to make my effort twice than today to rapidly adapt the new topics.
