Term 4 Music Reflection

April 7, 2009 Today, we practiced our classical song. I thought i had practiced well but I was wrong. I still need to improve my skills on my tempo. As well as my skills for fingering. I was disappointed at first that I did not did well but I decided that I could improve my skills by trying to study harder.

April 13, 2009 Today, we practiced our classical song again. I still mixed up some notes on the left hand. I think I need to practice harder for the next class. I am not very satisfied of my performance in class today.

April 14, 2009 Today we were told how to download finale from a website. We also learned to watch how to compose a song in finale. I was glad that my teacher did taught us again about how to use to program since i had forgotten how to use to program. I was grade 7 when i last used finale.

April 20, 2009 Today, we performed the classical songs we had been practicing for the assessment this term. I played Arabesque. I was so nervous that i did not play well at the first part of the song. I mixed up the tempo. Another factor is also because the piano was a bit slippery that i slipped some notes. I am disappointed but I am sure that I will do great for the next performance.

April 27, 2009 Today is the first day of UAN for most of my classmate. Half of the class was gone. We did not study much in theory class but we discussed about our reflection posting in blogger.com . I also gave my blogger URL. We will continue to study music practical. In practical class, we put chords into our song composition. After putting the chords, we tried to play our composition using the piano. My task is to practice at home since we are performing next week. I am so excited about the performance since I will play my own song.

May 4, 2009 Today, I resubmit my blogger URL and my teacher tried to open it. There were some careless mistakes that i made but the mistakes was fixable ones. I also copy the soft copy of my finale work to the desktop of the computer in music class. I also played mu composed song with the chords. I play pretty fine and I am very satisfied. May 5, 2009 Today, we submitted our final finale (hard copy). We also had a quiz about the glossary of music terms. I think I made a lot of mistakes and I am not satisfied of what I did in class today.

May 11, 2009 Today, we were given 15 minutes to practice our own song compositions with our instrument teachers. I practiced by myself for a few minutes and performed in front of my teacher. I am pretty confident for the performance. After the performance: I am glad that I did good for this performance. I am very satisfied. However, I will still practice more for my final performance which is during the exam week.

May 12, 2009 Today we were given our quiz result. I only get 6 out of 10. I am not satisfied at all of what I achieved. We also learned about inversion and I think it was not a hard topic.

May 18, 2009 Today, we learned about scales. From C, G, D, E and also how to put sharps. I feel just fine. We are to perform again tomorrow.

May 19, 2009 Today, we performed our composed song one more time. I did not play very well compared to my first performance. I am very disappointed but I am sure I will practice well and performed well during my final performance.
