Jen's Music Reflection

August 26, 2009

Today, we assess our skill on playing our instrument. Which is flute for me. But unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to practice. It is because the other music class were using the instrument class. I was so nervous waiting for my turn to perform. I am afraid that i will not do great on playing my instrument. Although, i have practice so many times at home. But at the end, I didn't get a chance to perform at all, because the time is not enough. It was surprising for me because I didn't realize that we were wasting so much of our time. So, my turn to perform is next week, and i get a chance to practice more at home.

Flute was new to me. Not yet familiar with it. At first, it was depressing when i try to blow it but it wont produce a sound. But I wont give up though. I tried harder and harder because it was interesting for me, and i really want my flute to produce a sound. After a long hard work, finally I could blow my own flute with producing a sound. And without I relized it, now I could paly "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on my flute. Finally, my hardwork paid off. But I wont stop from here. I will keep going. Instrument class was not that bad, it was fun actually.

Assignment again. It is about our music theory daily reflection. our teachers told us to put our daily music reflection on the blog. And give the URL to the teacher. I think it was confusing, because i wasn't familiar with making any blogs. But I don't think i will have any problem doing this assignment because even though im not familiar with blogs yet, I know the internet stuff. But most of my classmates were not really understand about making blogs so our entire session were used to discuss about making blogs. The session ends right after we rehearsed our instruments because we were told to have a test next session to see our development in the intrument class.

Today is the day we presentate our music project. It is about Popular Music vs. Classical Music. We have planned this project since the first day we have asked to do this assignment. Hopefully we did a great work. We were the first to presentate our project. It was nervewracking. I was totally nervous, but i think we did pretty good. Most of the other groups also did great. And for the final score our group got B! I was satisfy with it. I am glad that our plans worked out. For the review, Mr. Harry gave us his comment on our presentation, and he said that the presentation is too short, but he can see hard work on it. So, over all, I am satisfy for our work.

Today is not the due date for our project. So, we still got plenty of times. To filled the session, we practice to sing "Hari Merdeka" song for Indonesian Independence Day. We were divided by our gender and sing "Hari Merdeka" in front of the class, seperately. And not to mention we get judged by the boys and we got 7 averagely. Right after that, its the boys' turn to sing "Hari Merdeka", and they were so loud. They got 7 averagely too. So, we're even. Next, we were assign to learn to sing "Berkibarlah Benderaku" song for next week, I don't think I will have any problems doing this assignment since I'm already familiar with the song, but let's just see. To end the session, we study about the music composition and make our own. I think i did a pretty good job.

We all remember to submit our homeworks. And that's exactly the first thing that we do today. Our homework was about a classic composer autobiography report. And right after we submit our homework, we were given another homework or should I say a Project. We were asked to group ourself consist of 6 students. And my group consist of Mutia, Keisya, Chiara, Gio, Andrew, and Me. We were assign to make a powerpoint presentation about Popular Music vs. Classical Music. And the whole session were used to discuss about our plans on our project. Not to mention, its due next week and we have to presentate it. Hopefully, we will make a great presentation.

The elementary class comes out of the class so late. That's why we also enter the classroom so late. It was disappointing for me though. Because of that, we got less time to study music. But, we got so many things to do. And music also one of my favorite subjects, so I was pretty much dissappointed. But it was okay though. And we got to sing Hari Merdeka song. Most of my classmates don't get familiar with the song because most of them are not originately from Indonesia. So, we could understand that. to end the session, we study about the minor and major scale. It was pretty confusing, but i understand at the end.

First thing we do, today, is submitted our homework which is about popular music artist autobiography. It seems like everybody did their homework. I did too. Im glad I could finished it on time, although i have so many other things to do. It was a busy week for me. without i relized, i have been chosen to presentate my project in front of the class. It was very surprising to me because I didn't expected to be presentating my homework. Thank God, I could presentate it very well, and answer all of the questions that has been ask. Next, again we were given homework, also about an autobiography, but this time is about a classic composer. and I choose Tchaikovsky. I don't actually know who he is but my friend recommend him to me. hopefully i will not find any problem along the way.

We got so little time with so many things to do. So, Mr. Harry decided not to assess us on singing "Heal The World". I was a little bit disappointed though, because i like singing, and me and my partner have practice on it. But, its not a big deal for me. Next, we were assigned to do a popular music artist autobiography project for next week, individually. and I got James Brown to write a report on. I think I will do it just fine, since I am a fan of his. Right after that, we were learning about the G and F cleff. And also discusses about the music club.

First thing that we do today is devide ourself into groups that has been assigned last session and we presentate our homework about popular music. I think we did great. Other groups did great too. And after we done that, again we sing "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson for the last time. And then for the homework, we were assigned to be partners, and test our ability to sing "Heal The World" for next session. And i got Sonya to be my singing partner. Let's see how it will turn out. Hopefully i can sing well.

Today we have two sessions of music class. And again we group ourself into place depends on our instruments that we play. Then, we were given a homework. It's about Popular Music. Me and my group have to research about Popular Music and presentate it in front of the class next session. Anyway, the audition did not went great. But, it has been solve since me and my friends wanted to join the flute class. After that, we get to see mister John playing his guitar. It was entertaining. To end the session, again we sing "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson.

Its the first day of music lessons. So, we devided ourself on which music instruments we wanted to play. But, we got a little problem on it. First of all, the music department has decided to remove the choir class, and change it with flute class. We were not ready for the changes, and most of us aren't familiar with flute. As you can guess, no body was assigning for the flute class. And that's the problem. To solve that, we have to audition next week, to see our skill, on how we play our instrument. Let's just wait and see what is next. At the end of the session, we got to sing "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson!
