2011.8.1 - monday

  Today in music theory we revised the flats and sharps scales. He told us about the upper and lower chords of a scale. We also revised the formula for a major scale which is 1 1 1/2 1 1 1 1/2. We were taught about upper and lower tetra chords and how they can be used to find the next scale with more flats or sharps. Then, we discussed the assessment that will be coming in a few days. We were told how to adjust the microphone so that we will not have a problem with it on the day itself just to be sure. Then we were given a chance to go up to the front and adjust the microphone to our height. Last, we were shown an example of a student from last year doing the assessment. I have started practicing so and I have memorized the lyrics. But I know I will have a problem with my confidence so I will have to learn to calm myself down since I am extremely shy at occasions like this.
