Today was ASSESSMENT WEEK!!! I was very nervous and probably messes up a bit. I got an 8 out of 10. I could've done better by practicing more and concentrating more on the melody instead of the nervousness that is in me..

Music theory: We practice our song again just like yesterday. I need to practice more because I made mistakes. The next time its music we need to do the assessment. I'm quite nervous because I really want to get a satisfying score. If I played in front of the whole class I get embarrassed and will play clumsily.

Piano Class: We were recorded by the teacher, Mr. Heri. Before, we had to practice so that it could be played smoothly. I have to practice more. During this time, we were practicing with headsets so the recording wouldn't be interrupted by other noise or sounds.

Music theory

The instrumental groups performed their melodies for the IDU project. We need to practice more so it could be better.

Piano Class

We performed our melodies in front of everybody. I felt nervous because I was afraid to embarrass myself by my mistakes. I need to practice more.

From the performances, our piano teacher, Mr Heri gave us suggestions to improve our performances including suggestions about bowing.

Music Theory
Today we presented our movements. One of our members were absent again so it was hard to do it especially to make it precise. I don't think we are that ready, because the movements seem very stiff and we are also not very smooth in it. We need more practice. This project is a challenge for me because it seems that sometimes my members are uncooperative and absent. This project is difficult.

Music Theory
Today we practiced on our movements and to show it to the class. I didn't get to perform because there wasn't enough time. Our music composition (dance) isn't so organized. On of our group members were absent so that was also a disadvantage...

Music Theory
We did a practice on our melodies, each group (piano, violin, guitar, woodwind)had a representative to perform their melodies for the IDU project.

Piano Class
Today we practice our melody again. I didn't improve much in the melody. I think I need to improve in organizing it.

Music Theory:

Today we were given the scores for the music booklet. I was satisfied with my score because it as quite a good score. The finale submission soft copies were also checked while the students were taken a picture (for the last assessment - singing national anthem).

Piano:

We practiced playing our melodies again (with accompaniments).
