This is me playing two hands on the same melody of my composition. I think this one is much easier because we don't need to confuse about the left hand.
This is my practice about my composition. this is just 8 bars and basically I still need to improve my skills on playing it.

Today we learnt more about music notations. The teacher taught us about upbeats and ties notes and the different times of signatures.We also discussed the next quiz that will be held on monday 7th of september about 7th chord. In instrument classes, I was demanded to choose one classical music so then I choose Gymnopedie by Erik Satie. The teacher slowly taught me how to play the song and soon I'm able to do it and I need to practice daily in order to memorise it.

Today we sung the bagimu negri song individually in front of the class. I make a big improvement this time and gain more confident in the style I sang. After everyone finish their singing, we did some theory and finally we move onto instrument class. The singing took a long time so we only have a little time for instrument. For next session I need to improve on western music

Monday 28 May 2012

Today is the last day of the music sessions. There is no lesson on Friday because the teacher give us a study day for the exam. I practice my composition and I'm pretty sure that I will do well in the exam. I think I can achieve a high mark because the songs is easier the more we practice on it. Again there is no instrument class for today because we need to complete our composition.

Friday 21 May 2012

Today the class were divided based on the groups. We can be more concentrate and focus when we are in our own room. The teacher taught us to divide the part in our song so there will be played one by one with different instrument. This time, the teacher help us to make the song sound good and it totally works. I enjoyed playing my arrangement and I practice everyday because I'm so in love with my new arrangement. 

Monday 21 May 2012

We do the same things for today and tomorrow. We practice the composition in front of the class and the teacher as usual gives input for a better one. However the tempo were not really accurate so I need to collaborate more with my teammates. I forgot some of the notes while playing in front of the class so I think that Practice should be done in any prices.

Friday 18 May 2012

Today we submit our draft that we make for our composition. Some of my classmates have submitted their draft but there are several changes later on. Every team perform in front of the class to show what we got so far. I need to practice more and more for the hard song because I'm not that ready to play it. Again there is no instrument class for today because we spend all time in the composition practice.

Monday 14 May 2012

Today we have to make the draft for our composition. Draft is where we need to make before putting it into Finale. We need to play the composition in group to show it in front of the class. After we completed our assessment, the teacher comment on each of us and they give input on what next to be done such as become more confident and trust yourself that you can do it. I think that's it for today by the way there are no instrument class for this day.

Friday 11 May 2012

As usual, we continue our composition I practice it for a long time because I'm not really able to play it. So far my composition sounds pretty good and we just need another bars to end the composition perfectly.

Friday 4 May 2012

Today we are ask to make 16 bars for the composition. I make it until 24 for today including the chord. I need to think further for the right chord. Today there is no instrument class because we spent the whole time practicing our own composition in class.

Friday 27 April 2012

Today our teacher, Mr John is sick and replaced by Mr Herry. We are divided into four musical groups and we start making on our song. I make 8 bars on the first day and complete all the chord progressions. I need to make it more so I could complete it.
