7 - 9 August 2012

THEORY

On the 7th of August, all of us had to perform 'Rayuan Pulau Kelapa' in front of the whole class. Originally, we had to do it individually (sing it solo), but we convinced the teachers so they could allow us to sing in pairs. I paired up with Eun Joo, and honestly, I was freaking out because as hard as I try to memorize the lyrics, I couldn't and I had no idea why, but I still had to go front, so I did. And if this was an assessment, I bet I would get a 7 because I forgot some of the lyrics which is not good.

On the 8th of August, we had to give Mr. John the choice of our Western song. I chose Bob Dylan's song, re-arranged by Adele called 'Make You Feel My Love'. I think it's a really good song and it makes my voice sounds extra soft and smooth. If I'm not mistaken, I think we also did a rehearsal for this Western song singing assessment. I remember very well when I went in front, and I was shaking very badly because I have stage fright and I can't do anything in front of an audience, even if it's only one person, so yes, my voice sounded very shaky, but I'm happy that I got to practice that so I would probably be used to the feeling of performing in front of people. I didn't do bad, but I think I didn't do good either, but it's okay. It's a fear that I have got to face.

9th of August was the day of our Western song singing assessment, but we decided to postpone it to 14th of August.

INSTRUMENT

This week we learnt a classical song, I'm not sure what it was called and since we didn't have anything else to do, I just practiced the scale that I learnt already - G Major and E Minor. Mr. John also taught us Romance de Amour Part I.
