Today in music class we sang 'La Bamba' as a class and also in groups according to our instrument class. We were able to learn from other groups how to sing the song properly especially my group was the last group to sing and it was an advantage for me because i was able to learn from the other three groups. Another thing that we did was we learned a new song called 'What a Wonderful World'.

For next week, i am going to prepare for the assessment that we are going to have on the song La Bamba. I will prepare well and hope i achieve a good mark for this assessment.

In this music session, we learned a spanish song called 'La Bamba'. At first it was really hard for me to memorize and pronounce the spanish lyrics, however after some time, i got a hang of it and i was able to sing the song. Mr. Herry and Mr. John however helped us with the lyrics and the rhythm and we managed to sing it properly. Another thing that i did this session was i submitted my midi files of the composer.

In this music session, the first thing that we did was we submitted our task of making a composition with one of the forms that we have learnt last session. Of course this is the first homework of this term and i have not forgotten to make and submit it. After submitting this homework i was glad to receive yet another homework from Mr. Herry that is to extend our composition to 32 bars and to research and download midi files of a composer. In my instrument class, i helped my friends to play some songs and do some scales.

This is the first day for music class in term 2, i am so excited! In this first class, we had an overview of what we are going to do in this term. For the task today, we did a practice on creating compositions in different forms such as AABA or ABBA etc. For next session i will prepare more on this

Today, I submitted my individual report on pop rock music. I got some of the information from my group presentation but i also put additional information. I think my report was good and complete, i hope Mr Herry and Mr John would enjoy reading my report. I have pur a lot of effort into it.

Today we did an exercise involving scales. We learned about major and minor scales. I was able to understand the clear information from Mr John. Today we also received the music topic booklet. The booklet explained to us about what are we going to learn in this year. I am very excited to see the things there, and i hope it would be a fun year to come.

Today we saw additional performances from Jean, Calista, and Ian. They did not perform last session because they were absent. They played quite well i think. After the performances, we learned about chords of major and minor. I have again, learned this before but i respected Mr. John and i copied the notes to my book and i listened to explanations.

For next week, i will learn all of the chords, triads and intervals that I have studied and i will review them for the test to come.

Today, i did my performance assessment. I performed one musical piece in front of the class. The musical piece i chose was 'Adelita'. The song is not that hard, however, it can be quite challenging in some parts. I think I did good and i made no mistakes throughout the whole performance.

Mr. Herry said that most of us did a good job in performing and Mr. John said I played well. I will try to keep this standard up for performances to come.
