Week 8: Sept 17th~21st 2012

Topic: Review for the scales and chords test

Reflection Question: 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 18th- After we've done with our test about scales and chords, we firstly reviewed on scales and chords, and Mr.John called use one by one and taught us again the ones that we got mistakes during the test. I had a silly mistake in putting the sharps and the flats in the scales, since I put them in the first note where it is necessary, but forgot to put them again in the last note. I was careless with that part, so from now on I am going to be more careful with the small mistakes, and check my answers again before submitting the paper.

2. Sept 19th- Mr.John told us our scores for the quiz we did last week. I think I got a 9.6 for my final score, so I was happy because even though I had few small mistakes, Mr.John still gave me a good score. Also, he informed us that we have to choose a song to prepare for out next assessment, which is playing a Romantic music with out instruments.

3. Sept 20th- While explaining to us again about the scales and chords, Mr.John also taught us how to draw a G clef properly, since some of us were not able to draw it in the proper line.

• Instrument Class:

1. Sept 18th- I didn't do much today, because for today Mr.Sadrakh only checked other students, who he didn't check last week. So I just practiced myself with my song and the G major scale.

2. Sept 19th- I played the Suzuki No.1 the full song. Now I think I can finalize playing this song, since I've practiced this song for a long time. Therefore, I'm going to start practicing the song of the Romantic Era by researching them first.

3. Sept 20th- I've chosen my song as one of the Beethoven's Concertos, however I am not yet familiar with it, so I think I will need much time to prepare them all until October 17th.
