Music video Practice no 15 (26/05/10)

This is my last practice home video for this term 4. In this video, i gave different kind of performance unlike the other videos because this is my last video for all music teachers. In this video, firstly i played scale ( c major and g major scale) with my violin after that i switch to my vocal instrument to prepare before the exam on the 4 June. This all performance i record in this video are for practice before the exam on 4 June.

Today is the last class of music subject in this year and also in my life as a Binus Student or Binusian. The last activity that i did in this class was getting know my score as well as my friends score from Mr Herry and after that the second session me and my groups as well as the other group performers got 15 minutes to do their practice and after that give the last rehearsal in front of the class before the real assessment which is come on fourth of June. I think i did all the activities quiet well and overall in music class, i did very good job because i only once or twice forgot to submit my homework given by Mr Herry. My biggest improvement was this term 4 because i have a goal to not get any breach. In the future i would like to know more music talent from myself that not discovered during the music subject period by taking course outside.

Last words : THANK YOU ALL THE MUSIC TEACHERS, YOU ALL ALREADY GUIDE ME SINCE I AM STILL NOT 100% GIVE RESPECT TO YOU, BUT BECAUSE YOU ALL ALREADY HELP ME TO BUILD MY CHARACTER, SO THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL BE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music video Practice no 14 (21/05/10)

This is my second video of the week as well as the fourteenth video for the music practice home video for music subject in term 4. In this video there is one difference which is i add more scale, than only play c major scale, i also include and play g major scale. I think i did the practice quite well because i only found a little mistake during i play those two scales. In the future, since music exam is coming, i will be more focus and practice harder so that i can get a good score,

Music video Practice no 13 (19/05/10)

This is my first music practice video for this week and my thirteenth music video for the entire music practice video for music subject in term 4. In this video i still play the same song that i played the C major scale because this scale i will play on the exam week for music subject. I think i did play the s major scale well and i will try to add more scale like G major scaler for the next video because Mr Herry told us to do not only c major scale because we need to have another scale at least 2 scales.

Music reflection 21/05/10

Today I did learn a new thing in music, actually it's not so new because i already got this kind of exercise in the grade 7.The exercise is about listening and hearing. Basically its just i hear what m\Mr Herry played, usually a chord or some notes and then i wrote it in a music sheet. The interval is a bit different than when i was grade 7 because now Mr Herry introduced us the 3/4 interval. I think i did the exercise not so good because i already forgot the technique, however i will try to do my best if in the future i will meet this kind of exercise again. After that we got 10 minutes to practice on our chosen scale and then we performed it in front of our friends. I think i did quite well on the performance because i already practice it everyday for the c scale except the g scale which need more improvement.

music refleciton 18/05/10

Today I did learn on application of converting a song titled " Alice in Wonderland " from c key major into g key major. In theory session i did practice my scale for the performance on the exam week and i think i did all the activities quiet good especially the converting activity, because i already know the base knowledge of converting note, it only the application of it in the other hand i also already got what scale will i performed and play. I will maintain this kind of performance for the rest music class.

Music video Practice no 12 (15/05/10)

This is my second music video practice at home for this week and my twelveth music videos for the whole term 4 music video practice at home. This video is a bit different from the several previous videos which i do not play any instrument, i just sing a song and practice it.However, in this video i play my own instrument which i chose at school. In this video, i did fingering exercise so that i can play the violin well, after that i exercise my self with a classic song titled "Ode to Joy" and the last i played c major scale so that i can practice a scale. I think i did well on playing my violin and i just did a little mistake. I will practice harder so that i will get a good mark for one of the music assesment this term 4.

music refleciton 14/05/10

Today Mr Herry told us to submit two important documents, the first one is our learning journal which has our music reflection so far in it and we need to number it and the second one is our music final business jingle product in Finale. After that we got our practical class, in the practical class i just play some scales and practice it so that in the exam week i will play the scale very good and tidy. I think i did all the activities today in the music class very well, since i did all the music reflections in the music class so far and i also did it completely. In the future i will practice harder to play and perform scale so that i can get a good mark for music and it will be my last gift before i left grade 10 as well as music subject :) :) :) .

Music video Practice no 11 (13/05/10)

This is my first practice music video of this week and would be my eleventh music video of entire music subject this term 4. This would also be my last video of singing my jazz group performance song titled "Sway" because in the next video i will play scales with my instruments which is violin. I think i sang the song quite good for the last time and i hope that even though i am not singing anymore for the public in the future, i will try to maintain this kind of voice as well as keeping my confidence. The next video i would play the scale again with the violin again.

music refleciton 11/05/10

Today Mr Herry showed us some of the first draft business jingle from some of the students that already submitted their jingle on Friday and today. I heard all of those jingles and i felt great about their jingle. After that, Mr herry taught us about F cleft and how to convert note from G cleft bar into F cleft bar. In the past i did not understand about this technique, however because of Mr Herry today's lecture, now i understand it. After that we got our instrument class because mr Herry said we need to practice and prepare to perform a scale during the Exam week especially the music exam's day. I think i did all the activity quite well and i will maintain this kind of performance for the rest of music class in term 4 and i will try to hand in all the task given by the music subject on time.

This is my second practice music video of this week and my tenth music video practice for this term 4 Music subject. I sang again the same song with the previous video which is "Sway" even though the assesment already done, but i still need to practice my vocal, in case i will repeat the assesment on the Exam week. I think i sang the song quite good in the video, i did not make a mistake on the pitch i think. In the future i will practice more , in case i need to repeat the performance on the exam week.

music refleciton 07/05/10

Today i did the last rehearsal for my assesment in singing "sway" with my group and i also submit my first draft for the business jingle. Today is also my assesment of singing and performing the jazz song by group. The group that not perform, they can write a feedback or comment about the group who is performing in the front of the class. I think i did the performance quite well even though i make a mistake when i am late sing the fourth verse of the song. However, when i hear some of the feedback from the other groups, i found out that there are 6 comment out of 17 comments who said that my performance can be better, if i practice more and control my pitch correctly. I will take this comment as a good advice, and if in the exam week i need to perform again in case to increase my score as well as the group score, i will practice harder and follow those advices.

Music video Practice no 9 (06/05/10)

This is my first music practice video this week and my ninth music video so far for the video's on blog assesment. In this video i still sang and performed the same song with a couple previous video which is "Sway" and this song is also the song that i will perform on 7 May 2010 for one of the music assesments this term 4 by group. I think i did it good on my last rehearsal video, but i still make a little mistake, however i will try to improve it and give the best as i can on 7 May 2010 which is tomorrow, I will do more practice tomorrow with my group in order to get a higher grades.

music reflection 03/05/10

Today I did some practice exercise on making a jingle some tips given by Mr Herry on how the jingle synchronize with the chord per bar as well as the instruments used. Mr Herry also checked some of our blogs music reflections as well as practice music video at home. I think i did all the activities quite well because i listened carefully to Mr Herry's instructions and explanations and also i did the blog on time as well as the practice music video at home. In the future i will practice on singing for the group performance because on May 7 or the next music session will be the assesment.

Music video Practice no 8 (01/05/10)

This is my eighth music video practice at home and my second videos for this week. I record this video on the First day of May. The song that i played/sang is the same, "Sway" but now i am getting better and better on singing this song. I think i did the singing part very well because i made no mistake and with the right pitch, however in the future i need to concern more on the tempo of the song as well as background music to help me in my practice session

music refleciton 30/04/10

Today we submitted our draft composition jingle exercise/practice in Finale software and Mr Herry also checked our music book for the written exercise jingle, he played some of the jingle from our friends who submit their composition today through their USB. I think i did all the activities well today, for the future/next music class i will practice more on making the jingle before make the real jingle for business assesment.

Music video Practice no 7(30/04/10)

This is my seventh music practice video at home and the first music video for this week. I still sing the same song with the previous video which is "Sway" but now i sang it better because i already know where is the ending of the song because our group just decided where it should be end. I think i sang quite well and better than the previous video because i got more confidence rather than before, so for the future and the assesment for this singing a song in group, i will practice a lot and now, i just 30% ready for the assesment, hopefully next week already 100%.

music refleciton 27/04/10

Today at the first session, Mr Herry checked us one by one for the first practice of music jingle using Finale software, however only one out of twenty three people whom did it and submit it. I also got a bridge because of this. After that we performed in front of the class by jazz song's group, My group still performing the same song but today, i did not sing well because i am having a cough and suddenly my confidence lost at the middle of the performance, however the others of the group member played it very well. At the second session we have been splitted into different instruments group to practice by vocal,guitars.piano and violins. I think i did all the activities today not well because i did not submit the homework and my performance was not so good. I will try to improve those two by trying to not get any bridge in music class and practice sing a lot.

Music video Practice no 6 (24/04/2010)

This is my sixth music practice video at home and my second video for this week. This video got a different instrument from the previous five videos because now, i am more focusing in practice singing for the group singing of singing a jazz song that our group chosen. My group chose a jazz song titled "Sway" that was famous sang by Michael Buble. I think i did quite well during this music video but i need to have more practice to control my pitch. I will continue to practice singing this song until the assesment day.

music refleciton 23/04/10

Today, we got 3 activities for this music class. First of all, Mr Herry checked our blog one by one and gave bridge B for behaviour and H for homework for those of my classmates who did not update their blog until 20 April. Second of all, i make 4 bars jingle composition for the first draft of my jingle that will be use in business as one requirement in making the advertisement of my own creation product in business assesment this term. The last activity is that we performed the group performance of singing jazz songs that combined 4 different instruments and plus 2 additionals instruments in front of the class as well as the teachers. I think i did all the activity quite well especially the performance because we got a lot of applause from our classmates. For the next music class i will practice deeper for my group performance.

Music video Practice no 5 (22/04/10)

This is my fifth violin practice video at home. In this video, first i started with fingering exercise this is very important because it can make my finger not suddenly shock when directly playing the violin. Second, i played a famous classical song that played by Beethoven titled "Ode to Joy". I play it smoother than the previous video and i believe that mr Herry will like my new progress. In the next video i'm thinking of playing a pop song. Finally i can upload my video.

music refleciton 20/04/10

Today i did watch some famous commercial in the world through youtube that was shown by mr Herry, for example Coca-Cola and ponds and i also watched a video that is implied for commercial and how to synchronize with the sound effect of a phrase/actions in an advertisement and movie. This was demonstrated because music and business study have a collaboration for one of business assesment which is creating a commercial as well as jingle for our design product. I think i did all the task today, by watching it carefully and pay attention more detail so that i get the message and how to make a good jingle that can synchronize with the commercial, last i also got some inspiration especially the Coca-Cola commercial. I will take this lesson as my reference for my business jingle,commercial and product.

Music video Practice no 4 (18/04/10)

This is my fourth violin practice video that I done at home. I change my song because i'm a bit bored with "All of Me" however I did a quiet great job, because i tried to play a classic song titled "Ode To Joy" was famous played by Beethoven and i can do it using my violin. This is one of the outstanding achievement by myself since i play my violin about a year ago. I think i did the practice well and in the future i still play "All of Me' because i don't want to forget my goal, but i also tried to play some mini classic song like just what i did today. Once more i'm having trouble in uploading the video.

Music video Practice no 3 (15/04/10)

This is my third violin practice video that i done at home. I did it at night before my bed time, because i believed that it can helped me to make my mind not stress and become an easy going person. I did play All of Me once again because i did not forget my goal, that i should play All of Me until it sounds better than my assesment last term. I think i did it quite well, For the future of the music video will not be much different because i think i need to keep practice the song to achieve better performance. Once more i have a trouble on uploading the video.

music reflection 16/04/10

Today at the first period of this class we did a study for the music history and notations test especially in jazz music for one of the music assesment in term 4 and the second period or the rest of this class was used for the jazz music test. I think i did the test very well because i already study it and understand it also. I optimize, I can get at least 7 for this test. For the future i will study hard for upcoming music quiz/ test.

music refleciton 13/04/10

Today i did singing a song titled " You Got Rhythm" a song by George Gershwin for me pf ,y assesment for this term 4 and i sang it in front of my classmates in the class. I think i did it well because the score is improving from last time i sang a song for one of the requirement in music class 's singing assesment. In the future i will try to keep on improving my score for the rest of the music class in grade 10.

Music video Practice no 2(11/04/10)

This is my second violin practice video at home, I practice it today in my room, in the morning, first of all i did fingering exercise first because my finger still frozen, because i only practice just once which is yesterday since the holiday until now. Second i tried to play All of Me song a song which i performed last term for one of my music assesment last term. Overall i think i did it better than the first video, but still not so good because some of the note is not heard when i use my bow to play it. So my future for the end of the week is that i can play All of Me song better than my assesment last term. Sir Herry, I'm Having a trouble during uploading the video, i already upload it for 3 times, but when it reach 90% there is a window telling me that there is a problem during uploading, so can i just for this time, i put it on my USB and tomorrow i will give it to you in class, i will not repeat this again, only just for this time sir, please !!!

Music Practice Video no 1 (10/04/10)

This is my first violin practice video at home, i practice on my finger because honestly, since the holiday until now(Saturday) i did not play even touch my violin, so to start again the music Schools practical lessons which is the instrument lesson specifically i need to fingering practice at first. I think i did it okay, because it's quite long i did not touch my violin and i still sometimes miss a not when i did this. In the future i will keep on fingering practice on the first a few second on my video, then hopefully i can play a song.

music refleciton 09/04/10

I think i did it all the activities quiet well, and i will maintain this kind of performance for next music class.

music refleciton 06/04/10

The finisher activity, we sang a jazz song by Gershwin.

Today I my last assesment for this term 3 on performance, performing a 12 Bars blues self composition using my instrument which is violin. I think i did quite well on the performance because this is the first time i did a performance for a blues music using violin, even though i did not manage to play it full because i still do not get the feel on playing blues music, but i think i already hardly practice and show my confidence for this performance. In the future i will try to learn more on getting and playing the feeling as well as understanding the blues music.

music refleciton 09/03/10

Today I did my last practice on 12 Bars Blues composition before the test/assesment for the next music class and today is a history for music department since my first year in Binus and joining music, because this is the first time Mr Herry did not come to school or absent because he was having a high fever, I think i did quite well on my practice however i need to practice more so i can get a good score.

Today I did not do much in music class, however I got a lot of activity during the instrument class because i need to practice for performing "All of Me " song with my instrument which is violin and this is also one of the assesment for term 3. I think i performed it not so well, because it is my first time playing a jazz song with violin, and it was hard because I want to perform it perfect, but in fact i done it not so well, for the future if i got another assesment i will practice harder in order to perform it perfect. I also watched some of my friends performance playing same song.

Mr Herry also returned our 12 bars blues music compostion with mark in it, i'm quite satisfied with the mark and last we got to practice a jazz song for our next class assesment in performing a jazz song titled " All of Me".

In the music class, we just watched some of our friend and my violin group including me to perform a jazz song title All of Me, that is compulsory for every music students to perform it,base on the instrument group.

Music Reflection 29/01/10

Today i did a singing performance and watched some performance from all my friends in the music class. i sing a jazz song titled "Sway", i think i did quite well in the singing especially in expression and confident however in the middle of the song i missed the pitch because this is the first time i'm solo singing in front of the class and because of the instrument music that make me to have a break for while and do some dance that required by the criteria. However at last i really disappointed with the way of the teacher to marked me, he said i'm improve from the last performance, however he still gave me the same mark, and it is really unfair, i can accept if he honestly said to me what are my mistakes and maybe i can be control my emotion during his class, seriously if i can go back to the performance stage i do not want to show my confidence and the expression that really embarrass, since i already did it, maybe i can do it again later on, for the future i will redo it again for sure, but i don't think he will give me a better score, if he still give me the same do not praise me too much, so next time i will give my best voice to get a better mark, hopefully.

Music Reflection 26/01/10

Today I did my group presentation in cool jazz and also watched some presentation from the other groups. i Think i did it quite well especially a strong confidence to speak in front of the class and our collaboration as a group also quite well, however i lack on memorizing the information from the slide so i need to keep looking back on the slide that's why i lack on eye contact, so for the future i will try to use palm card so that i would not lack on eye contact
