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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Today is my first music class for term 4. We did a lot of activity, approximately 3 activities, but still not yet have an instrument class. The first activity is that mr Herry give back all our works for the booklet last term and asked us to make 5 questions for each person to be submitted and will be use for our theory's exam which will come next session on Friday. The second activity, Mr Herry try to refresh and challenge some of us in Jazz chords (G,D,A,E) Major,Minor, Dominant 7th,9, and 11. The last one we grouped per one instrument and 2 additional for the person who did not get the group through gambreng, this group will be our group performance for one of our music Assesments in term 4 as well as picking the jazz song. The finisher activity, we sang a jazz song by Gershwin. I think i did all the activity quite well because since it is the first meeting so there is no hard work, i think for the future i will maintain this kind of performance and study for the theory exam of Jazz History and Notation.
