2012.5.28 - monday (Last Music Class)
We did the same as last meeting, the class was split into our different groups and put in different rooms. Before that we had a talk about the MDW, mr john said that he would give it to us tomorrow. We were also told to wrap up all our reflections such as our blog, journal, and also our other separate booklets. I also need to upload the rest of my videos to put it on the blog. For [2012.6.1] we won't have music class because the week after this we already begin our exams, and friday is a study day so we won't be coming to school. But my group and I decided to meet up and practice a couple of times before our music assessment on the 8th.

Today we continued practicing our done compositions. They decided to split the class into different music rooms so we can focus better. Then, we practiced together. There were still problems with the synchronization in some parts of the song, but we definitely improved. I think that the guitar part could be improved too. Mr herry said that there needs to be a melody part for the cello so he helped our group do that and there were also changes in the guitar part.

2012.5.21 - monday
Last time we already completed the songs and our booklets. But today we made a few changes in the first few bars of the song. The accompaniment of the cello is added when there was actually a rest in the first and 3rd bar. Then when we tried it out again, somewhere in the middle of the song the count made for the cello accompaniment was not suitable to the melody and the counting needs to be changed. We practiced many times today as a group and I think we improved our team work today. I think the guitar could be improved but I know that we'll get there soon. I think I could also improve my pitch sometimes my hand slips because the cello I use at school is slightly bigger, so I need to pay attention to that. However in the end of the class I got better and the problem was solved.
2012.5.18 - friday
Since last time, my group and I are now completely finished with out song since we met up two days ago on wednesday after school to continue it together. Our song was also already put into a finale file. In the beginning of the lesson the teachers listened to each of our songs and gave their opinions on "what could have been better". For our song, we didn't realize it at first but we found out that some of the notes that were supposed to be played with a guitar actually can't because it's too low so we're gonna change that.
2012.5.14 - Monday
Actually today we were supposed to be finishing up but my group and I were unable to finish the whole thing. We already know how it will go but the notation in the music book takes time for us to do. However we were not done with the accompaniments though. We did try a bit if it matches. We also made the guitar part not only strumming chords but also with picking single notes and stuff. We plan to meet over the week before the next class to finish it.
2012.5.11 - friday
We did not have music class on monday because it was a field trip and the whole day was used therefore we had no classes. As usual we continued where we left off. My group and I gathered and Verena continued the melody this time. In the mean time, I made the accompaniment of the cello part until the end but then again there might be more changes involved later. We also helped yohanes with making his part that will be played in the guitar.
2012.5.5 - friday
For today's class we continued the music composition. We went straight into practicing each of our compositions and we gathered with our groups. We continued the composition where we have left off the last time we had our music class. We also made a few modifications regarding the melody (piano). I also made the accompaniment for the cello part that I will be playing but I think it will only be finalized later in time. Today i made 4 more bars of the melody then continued the rest at home.

2012.4.30 - monday
This session we started off by talking about the origins of the G clef and bass clef. Some students like had trouble drawing the G clef and mr john showed them how. The G and bass clef signatures actually came from the letters G, and F, then over time it evolved into what it is now. After that we gathered into groups and continued our composition. Today we were told to submit at least 8 bars to the teachers. We already thought of it and actually made 10 bars, but the last two were still not confirmed and there might be possible changes to them. Our instrument class was combined with theory class because people from different instruments needed to be together.
