January 2009 Date: 21.01.09 Music theory Since it was our first theory class, we were asked to pick which instrument we would like to play. Mr.John Lego gave few choices to the class, which were: Violin, Piano, Guitar, Flute or Vocal. I chose to join the Violin class because it was the instrument i knew how to handle most.We were also asked to form groups of 5 for an Asian Music Presentation. I was one team with Jacklin, Karin, Sarah, Jordi, and Jesslyn. Instrument Class/Violin For this week's instrument class, we had free time. Not exactly free time, but we weren't given any task to work on. The session quickly finished and we were dismissed. Date: 28.01.09 Music Theory Today, me and my group for the Asian Music Presentation (Jacklin, Karin, Sarah, Jordi, Jesslyn) presented what we've been working on about Japanese Music. I helped research about Japan's traditional instruments because that was the part i was chosen to work on. It went very well and it was a success. Mr.Peter and Mr.Tommy also came to observe and listen to our presentations. After the presentations, Mr.Peter tested our listening skills and asked questions to my classmates. Instrument Class/Violin Today, we didn't have Instrument Class because we ran out of time for the presentations. February 2009 Date:04.02.09 Music Theory Today, we were taught about major scales, something very important in music. Mr.John Lego explained alot of things about it. He also taught about how we can create the next major sclaes by adding sharps and flats to it. I had difficulties understanding the complicated things Mr.John was explaining, but thanks to him, now I understand better than ever. Instrument Class/Violin We didnt do much today. Each of us were just asked to play a song from Suzuki. I played a song from Suzuki 2. Date: 11.02.09 Music Theory Firs thing today, we reviewed the "Learning & Task Plan Guide". Then, we discussed about our next assessment which will be an individual booklet about Japanese Music. I will provide as many information as possible to be able to hit a good score. Next, we made outlines for the main parts of our booklet which were; The Introduction, Content, Conclusion and Reference. Last but not least, we practiced singing Silver Moon Boat. Instrument Class/Violin Today, I didnt really do much. I was waiting for my turn to show what I've praticed at home but there wasnt enough time to do so. I basically didnt do anything today in Violin Class. Date: 18.02.09 Music Theory Today, me and my friends practiced singing the Chinese song. By next week, we should either memorize it in English or Chinese. Instrument Class/Violin During instrument class, I showed what I've been working on at home. Date: 25.02.09 Music Theory Today, I had my assessment. We needed to sing the Chinese song in front of our class. We also studied for next week's written test. Instrument Class/Violin We didn't have instrument class because we ran out of time. March 2009 Date: 04.03.09 Music Theory Today, we had a written test about Asian Music and Major Scales. Mr.Peter came to observe our class. I did well with the Major Scales, but I didnt do a really good job with the Asian Music part. Instrument Class/Violin Today, we weren't given any tasks to work on. We just played and had fun in Instrument Class. Date: 11.04.09 Music Theory Today, Mr. John taught our class about Pentatonic scales. We made our own compositions as well. Instrument class/Violin I played my song from suzuki during instrument class. Conclusion for Term 3 This term, I learnt alot of new things in Music Class. Most especially about Asian Music. I studied and researched about it. It was enjoyable because I personally enjoy projects better than tests. I also learnt alot of theories such as the chords and etc. It was all very useful. I found the theories hard and difficult at first but now i understand them. Instrument class was okay because I didnt learn anything new. Next time, I would like to take the piano instrument class because the violin class is getting a bit boring. I'm really satisfied with how this term is coming to an end. |
