Today, I submit the survey report. Then I made the final draft of my composition along with its reflection. We practiced to sing ‘Indonesia Pusaka’ for the assessment tomorrow. In instrument class, we practiced to sing ‘Indonesia Pusaka’ with 2 voices or variations. It went pretty well to prepare for the assessment tomorrow. I will practice it again at home.
