Term 4 Week 2 (16 - 18 April 2013)

THEORY

There was no music class on Tuesday because of the UN Tryout.
On Wednesday, we started working on our new assessment: singing an Indonesian song, which in this case, was "Tanah Air" by Ibu Soed. I have loved this song since I was very young, so I had no problems with the lyrics and the melody. Mr. John and Mr. Hary told us that we should sing this with different voices (therefore creating a group), so since I was in a group with Eun Joo and Pinka, Eun Joo sang the normal voice, Pinka sang the higher harmony, while I sang the lower harmony. All of tried to sing the normal one first and then we also tried to sing the higher harmony with Mr. Hary and Mr. John. In my opinion, finding the higher harmony was not hard, but not easy either because when I think I've found the right note, it sounds weird combined with the normal one. I definitely should practice more in finding the different harmonies.
On Thursday, we continued practicing on the singing, but this time instead of the higher harmony, we practiced the lower harmony. Since I had to sing this part, pressure was on me because finding the lower harmony was very difficult and I've always had that struggle. I couldn't have find the lower harmony without Mr. Hary's help, so I thank God for him. To improve, I should practice at home. Today is also the due date of the essay on the topic of how music can influence other people. I sort of liked doing that essay because I love music and it affects me so much, especially my feelings and emotions, etc.

INSTRUMENT

On Wednesday we didn't have instrument class because we had to practice the singing, since next week there is no music class.
On Thursday, we only had a few minutes of instrument class because like yesterday, we spent our time singing. But when I went to instrument class, I still practiced "Tanah Air" with Eun Joo because I was frustrated on not finding the lower harmony.
