Today is the day we did our music 12 bar blues practical assessment. once the class has started, the teacher told us to go to our music instrumental class in order to practice for a while before the assessment has actually start. the piano, as always start first followed by guitar, violin, and last the woodwind group. i think i did pretty well on the assessment except that in the middle of the song the tempo that i played is a little bit rushing but then once i slowed down, the tempo i a little bit too slow. to sum up, i have some problems for the tempo during the assessment either i didnt practice enough or nervous. next time before asessment, i will need to practice more on the tempo focusing on the tempo that i will be playing, not rushing but also not slow, it has to be just right.

During music class today, Mr Herry is absent so Mr Sadrakh and Mr John became our coach. they told us to play our 12 bar blues improvisation in front of the class and the one whom start first is the piano group followed by guitar, violin and finally woodwind. hearing all the grou play all those songs took 2 sessions, so basically today, there are no music practical class. they also told us that on Friday, 12th of March will be our real assessment, and i just know that for the assessment the left hand must as well play the chord. so, at home, i should focus more on learning how to play my own 12 bar blues improvisation and learn the chord played by the left hand so that on friday i can get a good score.

Today is the day of our music practical assessment playing the All of me song. i think i did quite good although i did a minor mistake on the tempo and i am glad for it. Next time i will need to practice more at home so that i can get use to play on the tempo that the song is supposed to be in.

Friday 19th February 2010 PRACTICAL

During practical lesson, Tiffany and Mr Herry taught me how to play all od me with walking base. Then, we perform one by one. I think i did quite well, but then Mr Herry told us that for the assessment, we need to play it three rounds. first with two hands playing the same note, second is by playing chords by the left hand and melody by the right hand, and third with walking base. For the next music practical lesson, i will learn how to play the first and second round since the only thing i can accomplish now is the third round.

Today, we watch performance of all of me by every person from each instrumental group. Adeline and Tiffant were the representatives of the piano group so they play piano in front of the class. James and Budi played guitar, Adriani and Hasan played the violin, and last, Jeanne and Callista played woodwind for us to hear. They all played so great that it personally inspires me to practice more. After that, we make a reflection on ourr 12 bar blues improvisation. Once we have submitted that, we are allowed to go to our music practical class to practice the song all of me. Like what i have planned on tuesday, i will learn how to play walking base together with the melody of all of me.
