Week 6: Sept 3rd~7th 2012

Topic: Submission of a booklet about a composer.

Reflection Questions: 1. What have I learned?
                                 2. What kind of challenges did I face?
                                 3. How can I improve it next time?

• Theory Class:

1. Sept 4th- Actually we had to submit our booklet about a famous composer today, however Mr.John postponed the due date into tomorrow, so I was able to design my work with more colors and different fonts of titles and contents. Since we had to make a booklet about a composer that we chose for the power point presentation, I had to make a booklet about him again. It was easier for me to finish the work, because almost all of the information about Chopin was already cited in my presentation. However, even though I'm done with my information, and finished summarizing all of them, I still needed to decorate my work, and gather all papers to make a book. Since I have one more day to prepare the project, I will do it today, and submit it on time tomorrow.

2. Sept 5th- I submitted the booklet today on time so I was relieved. Also, Mr.John taught us about dominant 7, 1st inversion and the second inversion of a scale. It helped me to review all the scales we've learnt before, because to make dominant 7, 1st inversion and 2nd inversion, we have to know the first, third, fifth and the seventh note to make a chord. 

3. Sept 6th- We did the practice quiz on scales and chords, because Mr.John announced that we are going to have a test on scales next week. Even though I know how to write a scale with inversions and chords, I still need to practice more on the scales of sharps and flats, because I don't remember all the places where sharps and flats should be place in.

• Instrument Class:

1. Sept 4th- I played the Suzuki #5 no.1 part 1 until part 2 today. Since there were only few classes i attended on the instrument class due to many assessments, I had to practice more because I had lots of mistakes.

2. Sept 5th- I practiced the song again, so I was able to play the song better than yesterday, however I haven't practiced with legato, so I will practice with it again today.

3. Sept 6th- Mr.Sadrakh asked me to research on either Schubert of Beethoven's Concertos on violin, because we have an assessment on playing one of the Romantic Music on October.
