Today we have to make jingle. Based on the videos we have seen, we supposed to make it simple and catchy. We have to make the jingle with 4 kinds of instruments. If we haven't finished it, we could do it at home. It's today homework. After reccess, we have to perform This Love and I have to practice more.

Today, we watched some jingle commercial songs in one session before reccess for our inspiration to make jingle. After the reccess, we learned some music theory then we practiced our group performance. We're going to perform This Love. First, we decided who's the vocalist etc. but we changed the vocalist. I got the violin part and I have to learn the score because if I dont, my performance will ruin the song. I have to learn it and play it with the right rhythm.

Today we had music theory quiz. I had no preparation because I didn't bring my materials home and we don't get any emails from sir Herry because he thought it will be easy hence I didn't study for the test. I got many questions to answer from jazz genre. I didn't learn any jazz because I thought it wouldn't come out in the test. I have to learn jazz further. Maybe it will come in handy someday.

Today we have assessment. We are going to sing I Got Rhythm song. This assessment is different from the other singing assessment. We have to sing it alone rather than with partner. I have been really nervous before the assessment because my voice is not good enough, I can't sing high tone, and it sounds not full. In Indonesia you called it "cempreng". After the assessment, I feel satisfied about the score because I got 7 even though my voice is not good and often out of pitch. I have to get a singing lesson.

Today we chose some questions that we all have made from our genre. All the questions from the other class that also in that genre and our questions that we have chosen, will be asked for exercise before the test. We also sang I Got Rhythm. We will assess I Got Rhythm in April 13, 2010. My pitch still not high enough to sing I Got Rhythm. I have to learn to reach the high tone.

Today is the first session in term 4 after project week and holiday. We already begin the theory lesson with discussing the test based on our jazz genre. We made some questions from the essay we made then we repeated our lesson the dominanth seventh, minor seventh, major seventh. But we also learned something new, 9 and 11 chord. It's getting to confuse but I hope we can learn quickly because we are going to have a test about that.
