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.

Today I performed All of me because 2 people from each of the instruments have to perform it. Sir herry chose me and Hasan to represent the Violin. I haven't practiced for like weeks and got a little rusty. I got a little run pitch once. I have to fix it because it will ruin the whole performance.

Today we submitted our 12 bar blues. Finally I finished it on weekend and have sir Herry to check it on Monday. I got a quite big mistake there. I use 3/4 instead of 4/4 and some of my chords are wrong. I figured that it would be hard if I fix the notes, so I make a new one during the class and the reccess.

Today we checked our 12 bar blues and watched James Hadisurjo and Andrew Budiarta from guitar's team played All of me song. And also when sir Herry checked the 12 bar blues, he didn't mention my name. I thought I already submitted the 12 bar blues because my locker key was at home and i forgot to bring it. I guess I haven't finished it. I will come to school on Saturday to get my folder and finish the 12 bar blues with music booklet and submit it on Monday.

I was sick for 1 week. That will explain why my reflection is blank on those 3 days although I know I miss 2 assessments, I don't know which on what day. But I already make it up. I already submit my music booklet and have my singing assessment.
