1, Jan 2011 Music Reflection

Theory
               Today in theory class, we talk cover a lot of stuff. First we talked about our task that we will be doing in this 2 weeks, because there is a wrong communication between the teacher and the MYP Learning Plan given from the teacher. There was a mix problem in the dates, the dates for singing a pop song is suppose to be next week and the essay report is suppose to be due this week but the MYP is saying the opposite dates. So we are not at all preparing for the essay. So to be fare, the teacher told us to vote to do the singing or Essay report. Among all this, most of the class voted essay report first. So the teacher told us date the paper is due. The teacher than gave us photo copy of the essay task that we are suppose to do and name of people who played classic music in the old time and a information about classical music. The teacher than explains to us what we have to write in the essay, he also told us how many word, font size essay structure that he expects from us. The essay was said due this Friday by email.  After that, he told everybody one from the last in our attendance list to sing for the singing task next week, it’s pretty much a rehearsal for the task next week. But because of the time was running out we have to stop the rehearsal and the last one to sing was Melicia. The teacher than told us to go to teoria.com to learn more about all music theory especially the major, minor and inversion that we will be talking about. I think that the class really looking forward for the next music class.

Music Practical
                Today, since we were only given 12 minute to play our instruments, we were not able to play because it will take us time about 8 min to prepare our instruments and we will be will be able to play for 4 min. So we did not really do anything in class, the teacher only explains to us how to hold the violin properly and how to play the violin because there are 3 new people who are new to really do not know how to play the violin. It was also good for me to recap the holing of the violin the the basic of the violin. He told us just to keep practice how to play the violin on a string. We did not have any more time to learn about the violin. I think that next time, our theory teacher should understand the time for music practical and I do not think that it is good to bring our instrument for nothing such as today. So that we will be able to play more of the violin and be able to learn the violin even more, but if it’s going to be like this all the time, I think that we will not be moving forward.
