video practice - week 1

The first week of practicing this song is not good, I didn't play the song like how it should be played. I stopped in many parts and I made a few mistakes when I was playing the song. Practicing more is the best way for me now to do good in the assessment later. Well you know what they say: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! :)

video practice - week 2

I played the song too slowly, I didn't focus that well because I was very sleepy. I need to make the tempo steady and unchanging, plus I also have to practice more and more to play the song more beautifully than before. 

video practice- week 3

In my opinion I was quiet good in the beginning but in the last part I guess I kind of stopped in some parts. I really need to practice more to play it better and I need to focus more when I play the song, but to me, this week of video practice is much better than the video practice last week and it's a good thing that I improved. 

VIdeo practice- week 4

This is my fourth week of practicing the song for my assessment. I think I need to make the tempo constant and I need to practice more in order to play it better and fluently. But I guess I did a quiet good job for the fourth week of practicing the song for the assessment.

Today I watched a presentation of my friend's and I think their presentation is quiet fantastic. I was supposed to presentate again today but Melvin didn't bring his palm cards for the presentation, so we'll do it again next week. I also played a classical song which I picked for the assessment but Mr. Herry told me to play Menuett G instead.

Today at music class, my group and I presented a presentation about what's the difference between pop and classical music, and how is classical music still popular until now while some pop songs are just popular for a little while. I also watched some of my friends presented their presentations about pop and classical music and I think they're quiet good. However, I need to re-present my presentation again because we weren't very prepared and we want to get a good score.

At music class today, I watched some of my friends sing and I thought I was going to re-do the assessment today but then it turned out that the time wasn't enough again so I will do it on Thursday. I also played the F scale but I need to practice much more so that I can play without making any mistake. Mr. Herry also told me to cut my nails and polish off my nail polish, so today I cut my nails and wash away the nail polish on my nails.

Today I helped some of my friends making their blogs for their reflection on music class and I also checked mine. I was supposed to do my assignment again today but the time wasn't enough so maybe next week I'll sing for the assessment. I also played scales from C to D, I need to continue practice for scale E, F, G, A and B so I can play it fluently. 

5 August 2010

Today I watched some of my friends in the class perform singing for their assessment. I think they were good and the fact just made me even more nervous since I've never been good in singing. Well it turned out that time was running out and I didn't have the chance to sing  yet today, so probably I'd do it next week. Maybe it's a sign from God that I should practice more at home to get an excellent mark for this assessment!

I didn't do much today since I had to leave early because I needed to go to the embassy. But I was in the class for about thirty minutes as I watched some of my classmates practice singing in front of the class for the assessment, but today I have picked a song to sing for the assessment which is Part Of Your World composed by Alan Menken.

I watched some of my friends sing today and Mr. Herry asked us about what song we would be singing later on, but unfortunately I haven't picked a song to sing for the assessment. I still wasn't sure but I'd be sure very soon enough. My classmates and I sang 'Heal The World' which is a pop song by Michael Jackson and it was enjoyable singing together with the class. 

26 July 2010

Today I learned about the MYP learning plan and task booklet and the scale. In the instrument class I played C and D scale since it's our homework. We also talked about pop songs in the class and we should tell Mr. Herry which popular songs we like. Afterwards Mr. Herry gave us a worksheet on scale which we had to fill in and I did it pretty well. I quiet enjoyed the music class today.
