Theory

                Today, we learn about the history of classic music from the beginning till today. The first thing that happen today as we walk in to the class and take our seats, our teacher showed us samples  of music and the artist of classic from youtube. After the hearing and knowing the artists name, our teacher discussed about the periods or. What they call timeline of the classical music from years before 1400 till the year 1900 and over. Our teacher mostly discussed about the Baroque period in about the year 1600 till 1750, he discussed this because this was the year time/period where people make music and the music still exist till very now such as the work of J.S Bach, G.F Haendel, Antoniovivald, and John Pachelbel who wrote the canon D. After learning the history of classic music, the teacher told us to tell out one by one what pop song that we want to sing for our assessment and the teacher wants us to sing a few lines of the song we picked. I chose the song collide by Howie day. Learning all this music periods, artist hearing the music by classical music had really inspired me to want to learn more in violin and piano.

Music practical

                Today, since our time was petty caught up by the music theory; we were not able to do many things during the music practical since we had only about 15 to 20 min left. So our teacher told us to bring our just our violin bow and checked our hand position so that we can hold it is and properly as it will affect the whole sound of the violin and get even worse. Then your teacher told us few good stories about the bow and pretty much how the bow should be like. I like how the teacher explained to us how the bow should be is and what he expects from each and every one of us. He also expects more from me and I’m trying to go over his expectation. I’m planning for this term to study the song that we played during the string and sample because we well be having a concert and I have no other teacher that well teach me the song, and I want to learn the song Jesu, joy of man’s desiring. I hope that I can cover all this.
