Term 4 Week 1: April 9-11 2013

• Theory Class:

- Tuesday: Today was the first day of music for term 4. We received our assessment schedule today and discussed about projects we are going to have for this term. According to the schedule, we are going to have assessments such as singing the Indonesian song assessment,  composing jingle and writing an essay about the impact of music to the society.

- Wednesday: Today mr. John played chords with piano and guitar for us to guess what chord it is. It was very hard for me to get the correct answer because I've never learned chords before. Also, even though I've learned scales, when I try to convert them into triad chords mentally, it is very hard for me to think which chord or notes have natural, sharp or flat notes. Therefore in order to prepare for next chord test or composing my jingle, I think I need to practice more on chords and try to think fast when someone suddenly ask me questions about chords.

- Thursday: Today Mr.John gave us a worksheet about chords and scales that we had to answer. At first I filled in a worksheet where I have to write scales for certain notes and some chords from the same notes. We also discussed about the jingle that we are going to compose in a group of 3. I think I'm going to be grouped with Pinka and Rilya, so I might have to get some help from them with chords.

• Instrument Class:

 - Tuesday: Today was the first day of instrument class for term 4. Since it was the first day of instrument class, our string class did nothing at all. We only talked about our vacations during the holiday, and just talked about what we are going to do for this term. Because we didn't do anything for our instrument class, my friend Rilya and I played piano together, and I also listened her playing guitar.

- Wednesday: Today during the instrument class, I stayed in violin class. However I didn't get to play my violin because Mr.Sadrakh only checked Jason playing a song on Suzuki. Therefore for today I only watched him playing violin, but I really enjoyed today's class because I've ever played the song that Jason has played today.

- Thursday: Today we received a worksheet of this week's MDW reflection paper from Mr. Herry. We received this paper during the instrument class, and we had to submit it today, so I wasn't able to play my violin, but instead I concentrated on finishing the worksheet today, because I didn't want to delay my work anymore. Therefore I only wrote my reflection for this week, and listened to my other friends who played violin and piano.
