In this video, I practice my song. I played the B and A' part. I played the B part were worse than the A and A' part. I played it very slow and made many mistakes. It is because this part is harder than the A and A' part. Besides, Ithis is the first time I practice my song. To get a good score in this assessment I will practice more.

In this video I practice the a, e, b, f# minor harmonic and melodic scale. I played the a and b minor harmonic and melodic scale quite good but I played the rest bad. It is because I don't know what finger I should place for the first melody in those scales. So, I will practice more and ask for the proper finger.

video 13, term 2


In this video, I practice the a, e, b, f# minor harmonic and melodic. I played it not good but better than before. I played the a and e scale better than b and f# scale. The difficulty that I had was I didn't know the proper finger for b and f# minor scale. So I will practice more and try to ask for the proper finger.

video 14, term 2


In this video, I still practice the a, e, b, f# minor harmonic and melodic scale. I played it better than before but not really fluent especially for b and f# minor scale. I didn't know the proper finger for the b and f# minor scale. I willl practice more and ask Mr, Herry for the proper finger.

video 10, term 2


In this video I practice the F-B major broken chord. I played it quite well. But sometimes I forgot the pattern or I played the wrong notes, that's why I was not really fluent. I just realized that my hands posture were not really good as it supposed to be. So there are two things that I have to improve which are I have to practice more so I can play well and I have to change my hands posture.

video 9, term 2


In this video I tried to practice the C-A major broken chord again. I wanted to make sure that I still can play them and I could play them better than the last time. I did it quite good. The factors that I wasn't really fluent was sometimes I forgot the pattern and I had to tried to remember it. But, actually I already know the notes that I should play. I think I still need more practice so I can really remember the pattern and I could play better.


video 8, term 2


In this video I practice the broken chord of D-B major. This is the first time I practice the B major broken chord. I didn't do the B major well but for the rest broken chord were quite good. The difficulty that I had while I practice the B major broken chord were, besides I had to remember the pattern I also had to find the chord and the notes that I had to play. As this is the first time I practice the B major broken chord, I made a lot of mistakes and really not fluent. So, I will practice more to be able to play the broken chord well.

video 6, term 2


In this video I still practice the broken chord of C-G major. I still didn't play it well as I was not fluent. The problems I had were it's quite hard to transpose the chord and I had to remember the pattern but sometimes I played the wrong pattern. So, I think I have to practice more about the broken chord and I need to practice until B major.

video 5, term 2


In this video I practice the broken chord of C-G major for the first time. I didn't do it well because I was not really fluent. Besides it is the first time I practice broken chord, I also had to memorize the pattern and tried to make the broken chord of D-G major. The worst broken chord I played in this video was G major because I played it wrong. I think I have to practice more about the broken chord so I can play it well. 

video 7, term 2


In this video I practice the broken chord of C-A major for the third time. I did it quite good although still not really fluent. The problems I had were sometimes I confused to transpose the chord and also I had to remember the pattern. I will practice more so I can play it well.
