     Today I did a written notation test. I have prepared really well by reviewing at home. I answered all of the questions easily and properly. I think the quiz was very easy since I have learned it before. I did not encounter any difficulties during the test, I hope I can get a perfect score.

        Today, we had a review about major 7th and their inversion. Then, we did some exercises about it. I think it was very easy because I have learned it before. After that, a representative from each instruments performed their classical music. I was the one who played he music and I did it pretty well.  I have to practice it again to perform at the end of the term. I also have to study for a quiz tomorrow. For instrument , there was one group presented their presentation about western music, so I did not do anything because there was no enough time. I just sit and listen to the presentation.

    Today, Mr.Herry taught us about major 7th. We learned the root of c major 7th, its 1st inversion, 2nd inversion and 3rd inversion. It was the introduction for our composition because we are going to use the major 7th for our composition. It was challenging because I have to understand and memorize it. For instrument class, I played c to b major 7th with their 1st, 2nd and 3rd inversion. I did not play it fluently so I need to practice at home and I also need to cut my nail because it makes the fingering harder,

   Today, we finished the assessment for the individual singing. Then, we started to have the assessment on group presentation. There were only 2 groups which presented it because we did not have enough time. My group and I will do it next week so we can still fix and prepare for the presentation. At last we have singing practice for the Independence Day.

Singing Practice

This is my practice video of me singing a western pop song 'she will be loved' by Maroon 5. This practice video is to prepare for an individual singing western song assessment. I think I did pretty good during my practice. I have to improve my confidence when perform in front of audience.

   Today, we are divided into groups for the group presentation. Then, I did my singing individually assessment. I was so nervous but I did sing the whole song pretty well. I have to be more confident next time I have to make an outline for the presentation on western music.
   I played c to b major 7th, minor 7th and dominant 7. Then I learned how to play half diminished and diminished 7. I will practice to play it at home.
