Music Theory: Mr. Hary is back to school today. He had a car accident that resulted to an injury in his leg and had to go to the emergency room in a hospital. Today, we updated our assessment tests with more information regarding the topic. This gave us a higher chance of getting a better score than before. Next time, I must learn from ALL my sources.
Instrument Class: We practiced our songs again until the very end. I have to work on the dynamics and playing the notes at the ending. Mr. Herry also said that I have to practice using the finger numbers written on the paper.

Music Theory: Mr. John substituted as Music Theory teacher, for today. The essay assessment was done today, but I didn't do so well in the part where we had to define the terms and music forms used in the Baroque era, because I did not study that topic so well. Other than that, I think I did ok. Next time, I have to study terms and forms too because they are as important as the composers. There was no Instrument class today.

Music Theory: Today, Mr. Sadrakh substituted for Theory because of an accident that happened with Mr. Hary. We talked about the next assessment (essay) and the requirements. It must be 400-500 words long and must include the things you know about Baroque music, composers, and famous compositions. Some students, again, had to do some redoes for the previous assessment because their scores weren't so good.
Instrument Class: We continued to practice 16 bars of our song. When I practiced, I wasn't so good in the minor notes part near the ending. I need to improve on that by studying all the notes again

Music Theory:Some people didn't meet the passing score for the solo singing, so they had to do some redo assessments, today. The best students who did had good confidence and posture however, some of the others weren't that serious or focused. Next week, on Thursday, there will be the next assessment, Baroque essay test which I will need to study for.
Instrument Class: We started to practice 8 bars of our chosen song. Next week, we must be able to do 16 bars of it. Mr. Herry said I have to practice using the finger numbers stated in the paper so that My fingers would be more flexible.

16 April 2012 (Assessment Day)
Today is the day of the solo singing music assessment. I am very nervous about this because I think that singing in front of an audience alone is stepping outside my comfort zone. I did it today but I knew I did not do so well due to my bad pitch. I got an 8 as my final score, which isn't so good because I did not improve from the singing assessment last term.

Music Theory: Next week, on Monday, we will do the solo singing assessment on the song "Santa Lucia". Because of that, we practiced singing the song and doing voice warm ups. Mr. Hary said that if we would like to sing with a partner, then we will have to do double voices(alto and soprano). I'm quite nervous for next week because, it will be a SOLO singing assessment, unlike last term, when we could sing with a partner.
Instrument Class: In Instrument Class, we were informed about the third assessment; playing a Baroque composition. Mr. Herry discussed about the songs of J.S Bach and a bit of the history of each of them. He played three songs; Minuet in G, Prelude in C Major, and Gavotte. I think I will choose Prelude because I am familiar with this song. We then played a game of stating triads and notes.

9 April 2012 (First Day of Term 4)
Music Theory: Today is the first day of term 4, which means that it is a start to more tasks and assessments. Mr. Hary introduced the upcoming tasks that we needed to do for the next few weeks and months. He gave back the booklets to practice for a written test essay and a new song("Santa Lucia") sheet for the solo singing assessment. This song is written in Italian, making it the more harder to sing.
