Music Reflection #41 (Grade 10)

27-01-2011, Thursday

Today is the day of our submission of essay. Almost all of the student submitted because we are afraid of our score being deducted again on report. After that, we discussed more about the jazz scale and practice more on guessing which scales are which when Mr. Herry played the scale on the piano. On the second session we get to go to our instrument classes. which is a very rare occasion because Mr.Herry always spends 60 minutes or more for our music theory classes. on the instrument classes we play the jazz scale and discuss how to improve it in the violin. I will write my blog on the internet and play my violin.

Video upload will be coming up soon..

Today is the first day of semester 2 in music class. It is also the first day of our school starts. We were still excited and talk about the holiday in the class. Since it is the first day, Mr.Herry seems to be more relaxed and talk about the topics that we were going to study, which is Jazz. And then we get to know our score from Semester 1. I think my score is pretty good because I didn't did anything wrong in Semester 1. I will try harder in Semester 2
