THEORY

This is the last week of music for Term 1. On Tuesday, students from guitar, piano, and some students from strings class performed in front for the assessment. Mr. John decoded that all students from guitar class should redo the assessment on the next day (Wednesday) because he knew we could do better, so we did the assessment on Wednesday. Also on Tuesday, I played "La Grima", but on Wednesday I have decided to switch to "Sons de Carilhoes" because Mr. John and the majority of the students in music class recommended it.

INSTRUMENT

We didn't do anything since it's the last week.

THEORY

For this week all we did in theory class was practice what we're going to play for the assessment and revised on some notations. The revision wasn't that difficult, but I was still unsure of my choice of a Romantic Era song. It was either La Grima or Sons de Carilhoes.

INSTRUMENT

In instrument class all we did was practice on out Romantic Era song. I think I've improved in both songs from a few weeks ago.

Week 6 Practice Video 2

In this video, I practiced Andantino again. I still can't perfect it, but with practice I can do better. I made some mistakes, but I think it was better than before. I think I have to practice more on the parts where I make the same mistake with the previous videos.

Week 6 Practice Video 1

In this video, I practiced the whole song of Romance de Amour. I have made some mistakes, but I think I did quite well, I definitely made less mistakes than I did a week ago, so I'm content about this.

Week 5 Practice Video 2

In this video, I played the second part of Romance de Amour. It was difficult for me because I have never learned it before and I made a lot of mistakes, but I really like this song and I try to practice it every day.

Week 10 Practice Video 1

In the video, I played both parts of Sons de Carilhoes. It is still quite hard for me, even if I practice hard already. I really like this song, and I'm hoping I could play it better at the day of the assessment.

Week 3 Practice Video 1

In this video, I played the two scales that I learned: G major scale and E minor scale. It was not hard for me because I have learned this before.
