Today is our second written assessment day. this written assessment was made in purpose to improve our scores in the previous written assessment which was not that good. the test was not really that different like the last assessment, so similar in fact. but i think i did better this time than the last time, and confident with my work. so i am really happy that Mr. Herry gave us another chance to improve our score.

The written test is today. It is all about what we learn so far, it is devided by to sections. first section is about the history of music which i think i did not do really well in this section. and the second section is about the chords, scales, and the other music notation, which this section was quite surprising for me because i don;t think i did well in this section too. see us that we're not that ready for this assessment, Mr. Herry gives us another chance to improve our score by giving another assessment similar like this next session. to end this session, sir Herry reminds us to update this blog in purpose to get even better score for us.

This session starts with an announcement made by Mr. Herry. I don't think i will like this announcement. It is an announcement about our solo performance score. I don't think i did really well. but........... surprisingly, my score was quite satisfying but yet i still feel strange about that score. i got 9 out of 10. i didn't know which part i did great, but i think, for beginner maybe im not that bad. so that score is quite understandable. Right after that, what we did next is, we learn about the major scales and how they are related with the minor scales. for me, it is not that hard, but quite confusing. next thing, to close this session, we were given an assignment about the major 7th, dominant 7 and all of the theory because there will be a written test next week. i beeter study for it.

today is the big day! it is our assessment day of our solo performance. i am so nervous about this because i am a beginner in flute and unfortunately my composition is quite hard to play it on flute. i practice real hard. but i dont know why, when i was performing, i get very nervous and mess up my notes. i am not actually satisfied with it, although i did my best. i did make so many mistakes, but hopefully i get the score that i deserve and, i did my best though, so did not regret it.

Today, Mr. Herry was thinking about having the music solo performance assessment today. and i was really shocked that i haven't really practice and did not prepare for this. But thankfully, he postponed the assessment for flutist and guitarist because most of us are beginners. because of this, the flutist and guitarist did not do anything today but just watch the violinist and pianist perform their instruments. the bad news is, next session is my time to perform. i'd better get ready.

The whole session we spent our time checking our project for those that did not submit their project. Our project which are either the finale composition or the midi classical file. Didn't forget about our homework abour the major 7th chord plus the inversion. We did check our homework together and i got it all correct. but i still need to check on the positions of the sharps that usually i mispositioned them. but right after that we had a little time to end this session by playing guessing songs.

Midi classical file is our homework due today, thats the first thing Mr. Herry checked and talked about. i feel save because i did my work and satified with it. so i dont feel worry. Not to forget about our own composition, he also checked that and most of us has did it and we dont feel to worry about it.
Next, we study and learned about the chord major 7th and the inversion. to me, its such a new topic, and i dont know anything about it, but after Mr. Herry discussed about it and explain, i become quiet understand about it. not really difficult i think.
Last, we did the reflection and listen to the piano group's composition, they got great compositions!
