2012.4.27 - friday

              Today we went straight into the composition that we were doing. Verena and I informed Yohanes, who was absent because of the UN about the chords he had to do for the song. I tried out the part that I made so far but I made two different versions of the accompaniment. My group and I huddled up near the piano to see how it will sound. In the end Verena and I talked about a canon type accompaniment and I pracaticed the different versions. However I think it's most likely that we use the canon one.

         Today mr john was absent because of a car problem so mr herry was the one that taught us today. We started by checking our resources then we began talking about our next assessment which is the 32 bar group music composition. It needs to be a collaboration since we have to compose for 4 instruments or so. We started by talking about the group arrangements and how we're gonna do it. I was put in a group with Verena (piano) and Yohanes (guitar). Since Yohanes is taking the UN he will catch up later on. We talked about examples and chords and also the counter melodies today. Mr herry expects a rough draft of at least 4 bars on friday. In the end we only had 10 minutes of instrument class left.

            Today is the day of the singing assessment. We talked about the assessment and opened the assessment schedule given in the beginning of the term. I did not get that yet so mr John gave me a new copy since i was absent on the first meeting of the term. Today we are doing the singing assessment, so he handed out the assessment booklets to us. I filled half only at first before the assessment and the rest after that. At first we sang the song together as a class and then we were assessed by threes. I think I did fine except sometimes in the rapping part I tend to stumble on words since I can't rap anyway it's natural hey I tried so yeah. The assessment took the whole two sessions so there was no instrument class today.

           Today we started off music like usual with the attendance. The first thing we did was we practiced a composition and mr john picked a few students to come up to the board and try to compose an example song, one person 4 bars. The point is that he wanted to show how to create second melodies and chords for accompaniment. I asked if we should compose for our own instruments as the main melody but then he said that since there are four, we should compose for piano first. Lucky for me I could play both piano and cello, in fact I started piano way back when I was really young. After that we just practiced singing price tag for the assessment this friday. Mr John said we were allowed to see the on-screen lyrics so I feel a bit more relieved but I can't rap so that's my problem with the song.

2012.4.13 - friday

          Today is the first music class for term 4 for me because was absent on monday. We started the class by checking attendance and resources. today inot bring my music book and folder because forgot to place it inside my cello case as I usually do. Then after that we talked about the assessments that we will be having this term. The first assessment comes next week which is the singing assessment and we are all supposed to sing price tag. Then the next assessment is to create our own composistion and this time it will be a composition for 4 intruments or so. Then we practiced and did vocal warm ups in the end of the session today.
