Third week of April

19 April 2011

First of all, Mr. Herry asked us to stand up and check our appearance because many of us haven’t tuck in our shirt. And then Mr. Herry write down what we will do for today. After that, Mr. Herry give us the result of our essay about the role of music in the society. I’m satisfied with the score because I got full mark for it. Then Mr. Herry asked us to submit the finale draft for our own creation of the jingle and he also asked us to give him back the essay that are given back to us awhile ago. And then Mr. Herry asked one of the students to distribute the assessment schedule for term 4. We discuss about it for a short time and Mr. Herry also tell us about the next assessment that we will have that is duet singing that will be due exactly next week. It’s up to us for the partner that we will be singing later on. After that, Mr. Herry give us time to prepare the group performance 1^st assessment (rehearsal).

So in the time given, my group practice and finalize all those things that we haven’t sure yet especially the intro part and also the ending part of the song.

My group is the first one to perform because we are practicing in the music room and we are already in the front, that’s why Mr. Herry asked us to become the first. After the performance, everyone can give feedback. From the feedback that we got, overall they said that my group need to be more cooperate in the teamwork, work on the beat and also tempo of the song to make it a better performance. And then, for the second group (Brian, Dwi, Ann, Indi, Saskia and Tiara) they are playing I Got Rhythm song. My comment for this group is they need to improve on the tune, tempo of the song, guitar can’t be hear so it should be louder as well as the piano, for the singing it should be louder so people can hear it clearly and last they need to be more synchronize. Continue with the third group (Koby, Raymond, Harsya, Caleb, Wahyu, Ais, Juan, Yovita and Emily) they are playing Summertime song. My comment for this group is they need to be more synchronize, improving in the tempo of the song especially between piano and guitar. I think they can do it better if they have more practice. And finally we can have our recess time although we are late for it because we have to finish the performance before Mr. Herry let us to have our recess time.

This is the fifth video that I have recorded while I’m playing the piano in term 4. In this video, I’m practicing to play the chords of Fly Me To The Moon. I played from the intro part then continue with the rest of the song. After the second chorus of the song, I got a little bit confuse and I almost forgot that I have to stop because that was the time for the guitar to do a solo and then continue to play again. I think I need more practice to make it better.

This is the sixth video that I have recorded while I’m playing the piano in term 4. In this video, I’m practicing to play the chords of Fly Me To The Moon again. I played all of the song starting from the intro until the ending part. I think this time is better if I compare it to the last video because after the second chorus I didn’t forgot to stop for awhile to let the guitarist do his solo part and then continue to play together again. In this video, I played better rather than in my last video.
