Today, Mr. Herry told us our reflection score. I got 7/8. I think I didn't get a full mark because my reflection was not really detail. Then, we had a music theory which is inversion. Mr. Herry explained us about it and I quite understand about this inversion. After that, we decided our group member for the singing assessment. What I need to improve is I have to write my reflection more detail and I will study the music theory for the assessment, also practice to prepare the singing assessment. Mr. Herry also gave us example of inversion and I asked us to practice it at home so, I will try to practice it.

After that, Mr. Herry gave us an exercise to prepare the theory assessment. I did it good because I made no mistake. But, I will keep study and prepare for the theory assessment and practice for the singing assessment.


Music Class
We had no much time in this session. I only practice the C major 7 inversion. I did it quite good because I think it's not really hard to do. But, I still have to practice more, not only the C major 7 inversion but until G major 7 inversion.

As usual Mr. Herry checked our resources. Today we had a theory music assessment. Mr. herry gave us a paper. He asked us to wrote our name, our binusian id, and the date. Then we started the assessment. During the assessment I had a little difficulty that was, wrote the D major, E major, and A major scale because I didn't really remember it, so I had to calculate the distance between the notes. But, I did my test quite good and quite fast. I hope the result will be good. Still, I have to keep study about the notation so I can always remember it.


Music Class
In this session, I practice the C major 7th- G major 7th inversion. I got the first turn. I did it quite good although not really fluent. So, I will practice it again plus A major 7th and B major 7th inversion.

I came late today because of the traffic jam. So, I had to get the student pass on 7th floor. I was so tired because I had to use the stairs. After I got the student pass, I gave it to Mr. Herry. Then, he gave us time to practice with our group to prepare the singing group assessment next week. Then we had a rehearsal. My group got the third turn. We did it not really good because we never practice before and it's hard to divide our voice. So, I think we have to practice more and prepare for this assessment. Mr. Herry also asked us to chose our supervisor to help and train us. Our supervisor is Mr. Harry Wisnu. I hope we can get good score with his help.

Today we had the last rehearsal for the group singing assessment this Friday. After my group practice with Mr. Harry for a few minutes, we performed in front of the class. We got the third turn. We did it quite good but for me personally, I still had no confident. That's why we need to practice more and prepare for this assessment. I also have to try to be more confident so, we can get a good score for this assessment.
