Today there is an assessment about minor scales. We are making minor scales and several scales. There is also some words terminology in which we used to describe the meaning from the Italian words. It was pretty hard but I'm pretty sure that I will pass the test.

Friday 10 February 2012

Today we learn more about melodic and harmonic scale. I'm not so familiar with this because I never learn this in minor scales. The teacher teach us about this and I make much progress in this topic. I just need to rise the 7th note in the intervals. I think that I'm prepared for the assessment about the theories of minor scales. I just need to learn more about the vocabulary in the sheet that was distributed in the last meeting

Monday 6 February 2012

For the first session we are discussing about the trip overseas held by art department. Students from drama, music and art can join the trip. After that, the teacher gave us a vocabulary words that used in the romantic era. After that I continue my slide presentation about romantic music.

Friday 3 February 2012

For today we are discussing more on minor scales. Last time we've learnt major scales but we haven't learn much about minor scale so its not really familiar to me. There are several differences in the intervals in every note in the scale. I study the flat sign and the sharp sign in the minor scales.For today, there is no instrument class because we learn the theory for too long.

Monday 30 January 2012

Today we only discuss the upcoming assessment about the group slide presentation. The teacher divide us into a groups of four and three. The assessment is quite similar like the last group presentation held on term 1. But this time, we discuss about the changes that happens when classical music era has ended together with the rise of the romantic era. We need to list all composers, instrument and musical style. This assessments is not that complicated because we have learn about this in semester 1

23rd of January is the Chinese new year holiday. Today is the assessment day. Luckily I'm the 2nd person to sing so I don't really feel nervous. But I forget the lyrics on the last part of the song because I'm not that familiar with this song. But I'm happy because the teacher say that my singing skill is good yet he's giving a good score for my singing assessment. I'm pretty satisfied with that but still I need to be more confident for the next singing assessment.

Friday 20 January 2012

For today, we only practice to sing and we adjust the tone for our own voice so that it can suites us. We practice for the whole sessions because we're going to have the assessment next week.
