Music Theory: Our teacher, Mr. Hary came back. He recovered from his accident. When he came, he enables us to review our assessment we did last week to get the information out of the books. I struggle again at this point because I didn't buy the textbooks from school. :(

Piano Class. Today we played our song in front of the teacher. When we play it, the teacher will give a comment on us to improve. I changed my song to Minuet (a different type) because my older song, Prelude was already being played by two people.

Today we did the assessment to write the short essay about the Baroque era. It was very hard because I struggled in the "musical forms". The teacher was substituted by Mr. John, the guitar teacher.

Music Theory
Today we did our redos again with Mr. Sadrakh. People who had to do a redo usually has a lower score. Mr. Hary and many other instrument teachers were absent. But we will still have instrument class (but with some arrangements: the instrumental groups with a missing teacher will be taught by another teacher joining in with another group)


Piano Class
We practiced our Baroque song. My song to practice was Prelude in C. I have to improve more on my smoothness so I wouldn't have stops in the middle of the song.

Music theory: Today we did our singing re-do's. The people who had scores below average will do a redo. Besides that, people could take a challenge to volunteer singing in front of everybody again.

Piano Class: Today we were given the handouts of the notes like MInuet, Gavotte, Prelude and other Minuet (in different scales). We were given a choice to practice one.

Today we performed our santa lucia song. I was very nervous because I was afraid I'll get it wrong. I didn't do the performance really well because I was always looking down (no eye contact with audience: caused by nervousness) and I didn't sing so loud. Next time I should practice more.

Music Theory

Today we practiced the Santa Lucia song to present to the whole class. This practice was for the assessment on next Monday. I'm very nervous because it would be solo singing and I'm afraid that it would sound weird when I sing it.

Piano Class

One of the assessments is to play a Baroque music with our instruments. The teacher played songs that was from the Baroque era. They were Minuet in G, Prelude in C, and Gavotte. There were easy ones and hard ones. We also played games that involved guessing the note in which the teacher will give their number in the order of the scale.

Music Theory: Today we had to summarize our music booklets. Each music group (piano, woodwind, guitar and violin) had to choose representatives to present their summaries. From our piano class, Tata was the representative. Then we were introduced to a new song called Santa Lucia and practiced it.

Piano Class: The teacher wasn't in the class when it was time for "instrument class" so everybody was doing their own songs in the piano.
