26 April 2010-Music Reflection

Today, after checking the attendance, we continued with our discussion last week; TRIADS! So, without hesitation, we spent the whole TWO session reviewing about TRIADS. We even finish class at like about 2.15. I think that bringing our instrument to school (class) is useless. Because we're not even going to play it. If the teachers decided to spend the whole session for theory class, they could've at least tell us, so that we won't bring our instruments to class, and got a breach if we don't bring our instrument to class, which we are, by the way, NOT going to use anyways. It is written clearly in our schedule that we got 4o minutes for theory class and the rest 40 minutes for instrument class. I know that theory is important, but what is the point of buying new instruments if we're not gonna learn how to play it. Even though the teachers said that they extended the theory class because we were noisy, or because we haven't understand, I think that they still need to keep a track of time and divide the class EVENLY. I think it's not fair that we spent the whole 85 minutes for theory class. I will not do anything at home, because I've understood the triads, nor practice, since we didn't even got the time for instrument class. At least, we learnt something new today(YIPPEE), we(norman) counted the intervals of the triads.

22 April 2010-Music Reflection

Today, as usual, we were reviewing about the triads, again(!!!). We spent most of the time to review (I think). Fortunately, we practice our group presentation in front of the class, but we didn't even practice before that. I completely have no clue what we should do when the practical exam come up. We barely practice, like only about 3 times.

19 April 2010-Music Reflection

So firstly, we checked the attendance, and as I've predicted, we continued reviewing about the triad. And as the story goes on, we spend the whole music class discussing about the triad, and didn't have time for instrument class.

15 April 2010-Music Reflection

Firstly we check the attendance, then we were supposed to go practice for our group presentation, but when we were about to start, we were called back and told that we have to learn about something. After everyone got back, we learned about the TRIAD. A triad is when 3 notes are played together. We didn't go to instrument class, and probably won't next week.

12 April 2010-Music Reflection

Firstly, we check the attendance. Then our MDW, and then our blog. After that we transpose, again, an eight bar melody made by Mr. Harry Wisnu from C major to A major. At 13.50 we went to our group practice.

8 April 2010-Music Reflection

Firstly, today we check our MDW homework. Then he reminded us that our last due date is 12 April 2010. Then we went to practice our group pentatonic melody. I think this is finally the first time we went to practice our instrument more than 25 minutes. I practiced with my group and got a vision of how it's going to be. I will practice again at home, and practice my breath because they play it really slow(no offence).

5 April 2009-Music Reflection

Today we learnt about transpose. Transpose is changing chord to chord. We discussed about it for a while and then did the exercise. We have to transpose this melody, for C chord to D chord then to A chord. After we're done, we discussed about our group. Even though we didn't practice. And then we went home without going to instrument class. T_T
