THEORY

This week is the first week of Term 2. Since Mr. John was absent on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr. Herry substituted for him. He taught us a new lesson. In our upcoming assessment, there's going to be one where we have to compose a Rondo, also known as the pattern ABACA. It was kind of difficult for me at first because I couldn't come up with any notes that connect, but in the end, I finished everything from A to C. In the real assessment, we have to put it in the Finale software.
Our first assessment of this term is to sing a song from a musical. Mr. Herry said that we could go solo or we could have a partner, but I chose solo. I chose 'I Can Hear The Bells' from Hairspray, sung by the character Tracy Turnblad. I chose that song because I've always loved it and it's not that hard to sing, so I hope I won't have a hard time performing it in front of class.

INSTRUMENT

For the first day of music class in Term 2, we didn't do anything productive. On the second day, we learned how to play a melody/harmony with the whole class, which means all different musical instruments. I thought it was really cool how Mr. Herry could combine all the voices of our instruments and made it sound very interesting. I loved that. On the third day, me and Darren got the sheet of 'Bourree' by Johann Sebastian Bach from Mr. John. It's a really hard song to play, as I only know how to play both parts separately. I think it's really cool how Mr. John was able to play that song with ease.
