DO NOT FORGET TO DO THE BLOG!!!!

This is the day when Mr.Sadrakh and Mr. Herry reminded us about the BLOG, which is THIS BLOG. After theory class, we went to instruments class. As usual, Mr.sadrakh tuned our violins and then asked us to play one by one. The class ends and we head to the next class that we are suppose to have.

PRESENT A PIECE!!!

As I entered the music room, i prepared my violin and knew that this was the day of reflecting and showing everything that we have learnt to play on our instruments. I picked the song that i can do best the most and it was "TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR". When it was my turn, my heart starts to beat and then i felt that i was nervous! dag dig dug... it was beating! As Mr.Sadrakh played the piano, I move my bow softly and started to play. I really did my best. I have practiced hard for this day and i don't want to fail. Mr.Sadrakh stopped playing and the song ends. I did it! i present it well! And I was proud of myself. After the others play, Mr Sadrakh announced the scores for the powerpoint presentation and yes! Our score is GOOD! I knew that we did our best! We did it!!!! Mr. Rudy Wisnu, the brother of Mr.Hary Wisnu, teacher of flute played the Trumpet and the French Horn. I was amazed because I know that playing an instrument that requires blowing is a hard thing to do. We have to control our breath and stuff. I was amazed!!!!

THE CHANCE GIVEN... & OUR 2ND TASK

As I said, they group who had problems with their powerpoint were given another chance. this is the day when they presented the powerpoint. All of the groups did re-do their powerpoint presentation and present it smoothly except for the "PAPUA" group. So that day we watche dthe groups that were given another chance and they did it quite well. Mr.Sadrakh and Mr.Herry then annouced that we have to print every slide of the powerpoint and make it into a booklet. Also that we have to prepare a piece that we should play on the next meeting. One more thing, they also informed us about the 2nd task which is to make THIS BLOG. At first I thought that i will never remember all the things that we did but then I try to remember some things, I did my best! I finally managed to make this blog although it is not exactly accurate.

PRESENTATION DAY>>>>

Finally it is the day when we present our powerpoint presentation. Only SUNDA group and JAVA group were prepared. While the other group have problems. Every group have different problems and we were all lucky to be the survivors that can continue the presentation. We did it smoothly and ended up wonderfully. We are all proud of our own works and felt that we did a good job. The groups that have problems with their powerpoint were given another chance to present it were given time until the next meeting to re-do their powerpoints. We didn'nt have any intrument class that day because there is no time.

POWERPOINT APPOINTMENT....

As planned, we all went to Edward's house and do the powerpoint. We divided the task and try to do it as fast as possible so that it can be quickly done. So Kevin and Tristan search the information and the attachments like the videos and stuff. I get to summarize some of the informations and then Edward will just type what I say. Everyone in the group give on another ideas to make the powerpoint better and better!!! We then finished the powerpoint and went home. Such a long day! (sigh)

A TASK GIVEN....

After quite a few days, a task was given by Mr. Sadrakh and Mr.Herry, the head of the music department. Mr. Sadrakh divided us into 5 groups, and each group is made out of 5 students. I was one group with Tristan, Edward, Kevin and Devina. We are asked to make a powerpoint presentation about the traditional music and instrument of the provinces in Indonesia. And we got..... SUNDA!!! The powerpoint is suppose to be at least 10 slides maybe more if possible. So then we planned the date, day and time of when we are going to meet to do our powerpoint. we then decided that we should go to Edward's hpuse because it is the nearest one to the school. His house is at permata hijau.

THE REST FEW DAYS

Well... for the rest of the days in music class, we had the usual things, checking the attendance and also checking the resources that are suppose to be brought and of course, we had instrument classes. In violin class, the first song I learnt is "twinkle twinkle little star". I was happy to be able to play the song although it's a bit childish, it's quite good for a beginner. The second song was "lightly row". At first it was hard and difficult for me but then I managed to be able to play it because of the effort that i put on and of course, practicing made it better! I am so happy i can do it!

THIRD DAY

Mr.Sadrakh checked our attendance and sign our major scales homework. Then we were given a new song, "APUSE". He then thought us how to sing it. The melody of the song is similar to the song "GARUDA DI DADAKU". I like the song better than O INANI KE KE. Then we had a singing perfomance straight away. i was one group with Joshua and Tristan again. Before going to our instrument classes, Mr.Sadrakh gave us another homework about major scale.

SECOND DAY....

Here comes the second day, first was our music theory session, we sang the song O INANI KE KE again and then had a perfomance on it. Mr.Sadrakh, our music theory teacher called us three by three based on the registration number and then asked us to perform singing the song. So, I was one group with Joshua and Tristan. We did a good job and was proud of it. We were given homework of major scale. After that, we all move to our respective instrument classes. In the instrument class, violin, Mr. Sadrakh thought the beginners, which is me, Devina and Edward about the violin and its strings. He thought us all the basic things we have to know about the violin. He also showed us the way to hold the bow, and tell us to practice holding it with a pencil because we not yet have a violin.

THE FIRST DAY OF MUSIC CLASS

It is the first day of music class in grade 6, we started choosing the instruments that we want to play for the semester. We were all given a sheet of paper where there is the choices of instruments that is available. There is piano, guitar, violin and flute. At first i picked guitar but then changed to violin. We then sang the song "O-INANI KE KE". Then went to our instrument class. I went to guitar class because at that time, I haven't change into violin and Mr.John is absent so, Ms.Melvina thought us.
