3 December 2009
Today Mr.Herry checked our homework which are the Finale project and the Music Developmental Workbook. There were a few people who havent submitted it but fortunately I have submitted it on time. We also did our rehersal for our upcoming music exam. We each performed our own composition in front of the class. The violin group went first so I have little time to prepare for the rehersal. I did have some difficulties doing this. I made a few mistakes. But then the teacher helped me correct it. Next, I will study for the exams.

1 December 2009
Today we revised our previous lesson which is about the Kodaly. Mr.Herry didnt teach us today, he was replaced by our flute and guitar teacher, Mr.Hary and Mr.John. We learn songs for our Kodaly sign which is Marry had a Little Lamb and London Bridge. Than we were asked to go to the front and do the Kodaly from the song. I didnt have much difficulty doing this because it was quite easy to be memorized, both the song and the Kodaly. Next, I will carry on with the lesson.

Today we learn about Kodaly which is the hand signature. We learn the hand signature of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, and Do. We practice together doing all those hand signature including trying it out with a song. The song we tried on was the Morning song which is quite simple to do. I enjoy learning this the most because it is fun to do. I did have difficulites memorizing the signs but I am able to do it as we keep on doing those signs, thus, automatically making me memorize it. Next, I will learn to keep doing the Kodaly and update my blog.

Today I did the theory assessment about the major scale, major 7th chord, dominant chord, and also the music history just like my previous one. I think I did very good on my history part. I did have a hard time doing this assessment because it is an assessment, so there will definately be a difficult part. The difficult part for me was the chord and notation part. I didnt really know if I put it in the right notes at the right place and also the sharp, flat and natural signature. I tried to remember though the lesson that I have learn. I solved it by just trying my best to fill it because theres nothing I can do again hence it is an assessment and I have to be ready and all. Next, I will just study harder.

17 November 2009
Today I did my quiz. The quiz was about all the things we've studied about which are the major scale, major 7th chord, dominant chord. It also has the history part which was suprising for me because we've never really quite discussed about music's history. I did have difficulties doing this because I dont really understand about the chords and especially the history part though. Thankfully, if my quiz result for this quiz is bad, I can retake it and prefer which score is better for me. Next, I will study harder because I will retake the quiz.
