Theory                             

                Today, in the music theory class, we did and cover quite a lot of things. First before the class officially started, we seated according to our music instrument and Mr. Herry came. Then he checked our recourses and attendance. Then the class officially started. The teacher gave out the MYP learning plan and task booklet for this semester that we will be covering. He explains to us what we well be doing for did term accordingly to the MYP learning plan. In this term, we will be focusing about classical and pop music. He told as what the class will be having such as group slides presentation, individual report and the most important thing I guess is what he expects from us. Also today, we are put into groups for the group slide presentation. I was grouped with 5 people which are Cindy F., Michelle, Alden, Davin and I. I’m looking forward to work with this people for this project and hopefully to end with a good results. I think that the schedule that my teacher is fare according to the assessments dates and tasks. The timeframe is good and I’m looking forward to what we will be doing for this term.

Music Practical

                Today, in the music practical class, we were also pretty short of time. We were able to get in some basic stuff such as the basics of the violin. I think that the teacher is really good, he know many important things about the violin and tricks and tactics about the violin. In class, the teacher tuned the violin and the cello. After the teacher tuned the violin, he made every one; one by one to come up to the teacher and he will show us how to hold the violin bow properly and easy way. He caught 2 people having a long nails and told them to cut it. Than after the holding of the bow is done, he told me to show an example to play the violin. I was not really sure about the song that I played. When the time is up, he told us to prepare a song that we will learn from the Suzuki book 1. And I have chosen a song no. 13 title “Gavotte”. I think that it is a good start to learn how to play the violin, I’m pretty happy with the class. I hope that in the next class, I could learn the song that I picked.
