Today in music theory, Mr. John gave us our score for the Asian Written test, and i got 8/8. Then after that, Mr. John asked one of my friends to write 4 notes and my friend wrote it....but he didn't draw the stick, so Mr. John asked someone else to draw the stick, and he did it and told everybody the correct way of drawing the stick.
Today in music instrument, we practiced our composition. And then we played it (with broken chords). I think that i did okay, not so good, not so bad. The next thing I'm going to do is to practice at home so then the next time I play it, it would be fluent.

Today in music theory, we had to do the Asian written test, we had the whole music theory and some of the music instrument time to finish the test... For me, the test was pretty hard because we had to fill in all the lines for us to answer, and there were ALOT of lines. It took a lot of time for all of us to actually finish it. and the first one to finish was Daniel, then after he submitted his paper, I submitted mine.
Today in music instrument, we practiced our own composition, I think I did pretty well. Now all I need to do is to make the lyrics for the next assessment at home.

Today we did the written test, for me it was kind of hard because of the inversions... but other than that, I think I did pretty good. After we did the written test, we practiced a Chinese song for another assessment. First, Mr. Harry showed us how to sing it and also told us the tune. Then the next thing we did was practice singing it altogether. It was kind of hard because we had to sing it in Chinese and then we have to sing it again but in the English version.
Today in Music Instrument I had to copy down 3 types of pentatonic scales. I knew what to write because Mr. Herry showed us on the board. The next thing I'm going to do is to learn the pentatonic scales.

Today i had to redo my assessment... This time i passed the assessment right on the point. I got 7 and the passing score was 7. I was so happy that i actually passed, at first I thought that i would have failed again... After my assessment we listened to the other people who had to redo the assessment. And in the end everyone passed. YAY!!
Afte® the assessment was done it was going to be my first time moving to piano. In the piano class we had to do what Mr. Harry told them to do... as for me, i had to watch them do it and when it was my turn Mr. Harry asked me to do the major scales... after I did it, he asked me to practice it more and he also told me to cut my fingernails since it was too long ( not allowed to have long fingernails while playing piano.)

Today I sang the Indonesian song for the assessment. I sang it with Dini, Mr. John decided to divide us into pairs. I was so happy that he decided not to make it a solo singing thing... :) I think I would kind of have a bad score because I couldn't really sing Indonesian songs and I also couldn't reach those high pitched notes... plus i didn't sing loud.... and in the end I had to do a redo the next session which was on Tuesday. So the next thing I'll do is fix my pitch and also the next time i sing the song I'll make my voice louder.
