Today in our music class, we discussed about the types of music and the timeline: Medieval - Renaissance - Baroque - Classic - Romantic - Modern. And after we discussed, we practiced singing a song that we are going to sing for the assessment. I sang a song titled 'Need You Now' by Lady Antebellum and it was not really good. I will practice more and i hope i will do it better as soon as possible. In the practical lesson, i played the C, D, E, and F major scale. And my aim for next week is to play the major scales better than today.

Today, Mr Herry distributed a paper about music learning and task plan guide book. The paper shows the upcoming tasks and assessments that we are going to do in this semester. After I read the paper, the students and I were divided into five groups and i got group number 5 with Esther, Yoshiko, Daniel, and Joshua. Soon afterward, Mr Herry asked for the students' emails and we gave our emails to him. And before we started the practical lesson, we were distributed a booklet about Western Classical Music. In the practical lesson, there were 3 students who didn't get a chance to play (including me) because the time was not enough. That means, next week, i must be able to play piano well.

Today in the music theory class, we learned about major scales and the teacher explained clearly. We were also asked to write some of the major scales like C, D, etc. Before we move to our practical lesson, Mr Herry gave us homework to complete the major scales questions from him. In the practical lesson, I did bad because i was not really good at playing piano. In the next session, I hope I will do better and practice more.

Today was the first music class in this term and it was pretty interesting. Mr Herry (our music theory teacher) asked us to choose what do we want to join for the practical lesson. The choices were: piano, violin/cello, guitar, flute/saxophone and the maximum number of students in each classes was only six. I was lucky to get piano because i was the last member to join. After that, the music teachers played songs together and before the class ended, i was given homework to search about classical and pop music
