THEORY
We have a written test this week, so on Tuesday we had a "practice quiz". It was really difficult for me because I didn't understand the musical terms at all. It was very unfamiliar to me at that moment and it was difficult for me to understand and get the hang of it.
On Wednesday we learned more about the music analysis written test. We learned new musical terms, such as sf or sfz, also known as sforzando, is a dynamic similar to the dynamic 'staccato', p, also known as piano, means soft, and many other terms. I thought this wasn't a very hard topic to learn because I've learned most of the things taught in the class before.
The music analysis written test was supposed to be on Thursday, but Mr. John postponed it because he thought we should have more time to study, since this is the first time we've learned it. I was very grateful for this because at that moment I was busy with all the other assessments from the subjects besides music.
INSTRUMENT
On Tuesday we learned a new Jazz song. It was very cool because I really enjoy the feeling of Jazz music and I love playing it, so it was a joy learning a new Jazz song. It wasn't very hard, but I had to remember it and I can't remember things very well, so that part was difficult for me.
On Wednesday we practiced the song we learned on Tuesday. I definitely think I did a better job than I did on Tuesday because I practiced quite a lot and I'm quite proud with my improvement. I think it sounded sort of good.
On Thursday, while the others were learning a new song from Mr. John, I played my composition quietly in the background because I didn't want anyone else to listen to my composition as I thought it sounded weird.
