Term 4 Week 8: May 28th-30th 2013


  • Theory Class:

- Tuesday: Today was the first rehearsal day for the grade 12 graduation ceremony, so we were quite busy on practicing the medley of Indonesian traditional songs. We've spent both sessions on practicing this medley perfectly, and I think we are much better in playing this song compared to the Indonesia Pusaka song. I felt more comfortable in playing this song because all of us were able to play it without much mistakes or difficulties in finding the right pitch or tempo. However I think we need to practice more on our pizzicato because when we play the pizzicato part, most of us didn't play at the same time, so the sound was not synchronising. Also, sometimes the pitch for the pizzicato part was not correct for some of us, so if we concentrate on this part, I think there will be no more problems in this song.

- Wednesday: Since the graduation is in two days, we only had time for practicing for both songs. It turned out that we also had to play the Indonesia Pusaka song for the graduation, because it would be boring if we only play the medley all over again for about 30 minutes when all graduating students come out from the back stage. I was a little bit worried because we are not as good as we are than the medley song when we play the Indonesia Pusaka. So we concentrated more on this song today, because it turned out that we had a slight different variation in the song than the one we originally practiced. However for me, I think the new variation is much easier than the original one for all of us, so if we practice a lot for this song, I think we can make a nice harmony. 

- Thursday: I thought that today we were going to have another rehearsal in the 8th floor after school, but it turned out that today's rehearsal was without the students, so we only had time to practice during the music time. Today we finalised our preparation on the two songs: the medley of Indonesian traditional song and the Indonesia Pusaka song. I think we've advanced in the second song because we've mainly concentrated in this song yesterday. So I think we are well prepared for our performance during the graduation ceremony. Also, today was our last assessment day of playing the medley of Indonesian tradition song with violin. Grade 10 students supported us by playing flute and Angklung, so we were able to do our assessment successfully with good harmony, and I felt relieved because grade 10 students will also play during the graduation ceremony. 


  • Instrument Class:

SIMILAR TO LAST WEEK, WE DIDN'T HAVE INSTRUMENT CLASS AT ALL THIS WEEK, BECAUSE WE'VE SPENT ALL OUR TIME PREPARING FOR THE GRADE 12 GRADUATION CEREMONY PERFORMANCE AND OUR ASSESSMENT ON PLAYING VIOLIN IN AN ORCHESTRA. SO WE'VE SPENT ALL OF OUR INSTRUMENT CLASS STAYING IN OUR MUSIC THEORY ROOM, PRACTICING ON OUR ASSESSMENT AND THE GRADUATION CEREMONY. HOWEVER WE ALSO SPENT SOME OF OUR TIME WRITING OUR REFLECTIONS IN OUR MDW BOOKLET.
