Term 4 Week 4 (30 April - 2 May 2013)

THEORY

On Tuesday, we had the singing assessment. Eun Joo, Pinka, and I were the second group to perform. When it was our turn, I felt very nervous because I was pretty sure that I lacked practice at home, so in the first round I was very unsure of myself and I hesitated a lot, therefore creating a sort of humming noise and it didn't sound good. Mr. John knew what happened and he told us not to be shy and if we made a mistake we should just move on, so he gave us another chance and we definitely sang better compared to the first one, thanks to Mr. John's advice. I'm satisfied because I actually remembered the lower harmonies. Oh and in the end, Pinka decided to the lower harmonies with me because she couldn't reach the higher harmonies, and Mr. John was okay with that.
On Wednesday, we learned about chord progressions. Mr. John showed us different kinds of way to play the chord C and it was very fun to learn. Also, it is very useful in making the jingle since we had to put the chords as well.
On Thursday, I worked on my jingle because my goal this term was to not procrastinate so yeah, I did. It was difficult for me to compose something without playing a musical instrument at the same time, so I decided to go to the piano and write the melody. For today, I've done 8 bars out of 16 bars. I think that's pretty good, considering what I've done last term (which was procrastinate a term long). I think my work's in good progress because I've made the chords along with the notes and I'm quite proud of it.

INSTRUMENT

On Tuesday we didn't have instrument class because we had the singing assessment.
On Wednesday, we didn't have instrument class because we had to continue on learning the chord progressions.
On Thursday, we didn't have instrument class because we had to start on our draft of our jingle.
