Music Theory: Today, we repeated learning the process on how to put chords into the finale program because some of the students have not submitted the hard copy of the note sheet due to lack of knowledge on using the program. Mr. Hary also told us to practice our melody for the assessment on March.
Instrument Class: Today, we practiced playing our 32 bar melodies with the left hand while the teacher supervises us. Mr. Herry said I had to improve on my finger posture (specifically the pinky), by doing finger exercises.

Music Theory: Today, we discussed about our booklet assessment work progress and installing a music sheet making software called Finale. The teacher showed us how to set up new documents and putting the notes on the bars. This software will be for future use.
Instrument Class: After discussing about making 32 bar melodies in Music Theory, we decided to practice our written melodies out loud. When I did it, I had a lot of mistakes because I could not keep up with the beat. I wasn't balanced with the reading the notes and focusing on the beat at the same time. I focused on the beat too much, I forgot about the notes. Next time, I should be better in being balanced in playing the melody.

Music Theory: Today, the class discussed about the music booklet assessment. Earlier, the requirement for the booklet was only 10 pages, but it is supposed to be 20. The submission date was postponed and we had to clarify the contents again. Later, we reviewed on making the melodies and checked on how we did in doing so.
Instrument Class: Today, we finished making a 32 bar melody. The teacher played it in the piano to check on how it sounds like. I think I have to improve on listening to instructions because I missed one bar.

Music Theory: Today, on Thursday, we started the lesson by reviewing on note values such as the whole note, half note, and quarter note. We talked about the two things we must remember in making melodies which are;
1. Make melodies based on note values
2. Do not make the notes have far intervals between each other
We then practiced writing 16 bar melodies together with our instrument group
Instrument Class: Today, I learned how to make melodies according to their chords. We did not practiced playing them on the piano, though. But the teacher showed us how it would sound like.

Music Theory: Today, we discussed about note values(how many beats in each type of note) and rest values. We also learned about how we can use them in making melodies, which would be an upcoming assessment for Grade 7 students. Handouts were given today to give us more information about the assessments in music class.
Instrument Class: Today, we practiced writing scales in F clef and playing them in the piano. The teacher said I need to work on my hand posture when I practice the piano so that it will be easier for me to move my fingers when practicing piano
