Today we did the assessment for the song Sakura. The assessment made me really nervous and luckily I was able to memorise the song. I'm scared to know the score but I'll accept it since I did what I could good or bad is okay.

01/02/2010
Today we did the presentation on the traditional music. Our topic is about Japan. It was done in groups and everybody did their best on it. This kind of presentation is nice since it improves teamwork and agreement. We also got to see presentations from other groups about other country's traditional music.

Today the presentation assessment continued. It was about India and Korea.It was quite good and the teacher asked us to note down the C Major scales

Today we learn about the pentatonic scales. Mr.Sadrakh showed us how it sounds on the piano. He showed us some songs and we had to guess which pentatonic is used. We were shown how to make a few bars of notes using the pentatonic scales. We had a homework which was to make a 16 bar melody.

10/02/2010
Today we had to submit the homework. The teacher decided to play some of the melody. Some students was scolded for not making their homework but that's something I should not poke my nose into. We also had to make another 16 bar melody continueing the 1st one.

15/02/2010
Today we had to submit another 16 bar melody so the total is 32 bars. From each instrument gorup one person is chosen and their piece is played. Some songs were corrected for the mistakes but most pieces are from the boys which had a lot of correction to most of them. In the end everybody had to submit the book and the C Major scale was explained.

17/02/2010
Today we had to copy the 32 melody we made to another paper. We have no homework for today and Mr.Sadrakh informed us that he has finished checking the booklet. We learnt how to make blog and we had to make one and send the link to Mr.Sadrakh.
