Music Reflection 24 - 2 - 2011, Thursday

Today at theory class, we listen to every student's 12 blues bars composition. I think we all did it well, however i got feedback from Mr.Herry that i need too put higher note therefore there will be more variations. I hope i can do it well in improvising and perform it with my violin.

I will improve my composition therefore i can have a better song to be heard.

Music Reflection 22 - 2 - 2011, Tuesday

Today we submitted our blues 12 bars, after that we continue our singing assessment. I got my turn and it was the first performer. I think when i perform i did it well, however at the end i lost my voice for a while. I hope i can get the minimum score of 7.

I will improve on my voice at my next singing assessment because i cannot reach high pitch when i did my previous assessment,
