Today, we had our music test about what we have learned in this term. There were minor scales, major scales, and tonic triads. Then I gave my usb to Mr Herry to download finale so I can start copying my composition in there. I promised that I will send my composition (soft copy) next week and also the hard copy. After that, we went to our practical class, and we practiced our compositions

Today was Indonesia Pusaka singing assessment and I laughed when I was singing. I felt horrible when I was laughing. After I laughed, I directly continued singing so that I would not fail. It was an embarrassing moment for me and it reduces points. I regretted because I did not sing it seriously. Some of the students also wrote in their comments that I should sing more serious. Next time, I will be more serious especially when I am doing with my assessments. In practical lesson, because the time was almost finished, we did not do anything.

Today, we practiced singing Indonesia Pusaka for our singing assessment next week. So, Mr Herry gave us a video of Indonesia Pusaka song and also asked us to write the lyric of the version 1. Then Mr Herry showed us the video of "You've Got A Friend" song by Carole King. He also distributed the lyrics of that song. Then, Mr Hary taught us to sing Indonesia Pusaka. I will practiced those 2 songs and I will memorize it.

Today, Mr Herry checked our resources. I brought all of my resources, so I did not get any breaches. And then, we were asked to copy our own compositions to our notebooks because Mr Herry would take the papers of our own compositions. Then some students did the rhythmic patterns from notation. I will have a quiz next week about tonic triad and inversion. And we will have a singing assessment also on next Wednesday. I will study and memorize the song. In practical class, we played our composition and I did it badly. I will practice more so that I can play well.

Today, we submitted our homework and I did it incompletely. And then Mr Herry showed us some examples of composition that were made by the last semester's students. And then we learned how to use finale (software) and how to download it. Then we performed the rhythmic patterns from notation. In instrument class, we continued making our compositions but the part B must be finished. I finished it and at home, I will make the part C of my composition.

Today was the first music class of term 4 and we played a game. How to play the game was just to memorize, sing, and clap. And then, we practiced to compose a composition because this term assessment is going to be composing a composition. So, starting now, we have to practice and at home, I will practice composing a composition. In instrument class, we made a composition and I think the composition I have made was good enough but I still need to improve some of it.
