Today we checked the 12 bars blues homework given by Mr. Herry last week. After that, Mr John and Mr. Hary and Mr. Sadrakh showed us an example of the improvisation. After that Steven and his group gave us a presentation on fusion jazz.

I think I have completely understand today's lesson and there were no obstacles this session. For next week, I will prepare and improve my blues notation.

Today in music class we had the singing assessment for the song 'Sway'. For the assessment, we were given the choice to have a solo performance or a duet performance, I picked to do a solo performance.

I think that I did my performance pretty well. I was able to sing the song without any mistakes and at the same time dancing to the music. I think I expressed myself pretty well throughout the song and I was not nervous at all.

I will keep this up for future singing performances and I will try to do better. For next week, I will prepare for the individual paper work on jazz.

Today in music class we had the group presentation. My group was the third group to present. I think that my group and I did the presentation pretty well, especially the live performance of the song 'All of Me' at the end.

I believe that my group and I did a good job in preparing for the presentation and I will keep this up for next presentations. For next session, I will prepare for the 'Sway' singing assessment.

Today in music class we learned about the blues chord and notes. We were given the different chords and we were asked to make a melody based on the chords.

I think that today was a pretty short and simple lesson and i understand the lesson well. Next week I will work with my group to prepare the group presentation.

Today is the first music class in term 3, Semester 2 2010. I am very excited to be back here in the music class. In today's class, Mr. Herry started the class by explaining how should we behave in class and reviewing the requirements for the class.

After that he explained what are the things that are going to be studied and assessed this term in music class.

For next session, I will prepare for the lessons and research on the different types of Jazz music. I think I understood today's lesson well.

Today in music class, first we learned about John Sebastian Bach, after that we had a quiz about what we had learned. After doing these, Mr Herry gave us the coverage for the semester exam, it is about history and theory. I think it won't be that hard. After that Mr Herry distributed the 5 papers we have to study on for the exam, it is so long! I hope i do well in the exam!
