In today's music class we are divided into groups and we discussed the music planner and the work division for the music genre presentation. I got to make the presentation about the country genre. In practical class we did the 7th chords and Mr. Herry told us to do the diminished chords at home.

I prepared all the materials needed in the class, so I think I did a pretty good job. In practical class I did the 7th chords pretty well but I still need to practice.

I will prepare the presentation in the next few days. And I will also practice the diminished 7th chords.

Today in theory music class we continued the singing assessment. I get to do mine first. Then some of my classmates did their assessments too. Everyone got their turn. Because of that we didn't have practical music class today.

I sang my song well, but I got distracted in the middle so I missed a line from the song.

I will practice my classic song for the end of this term. I will practice more of the scales and the 7th chords

Today we started our singing assessment. Some of our classmates have completed the singing assessment, while some of us haven't. I listened to 4 of my classmates sing, and they were good. After that we split up and learned how to play the 7th chords in C with Mr. Herry. He gave us homework to practice on the scales and the chords.

It's not yet my turn to sing, so I just listened to my friends sing. As for the 7th chords, I need to practice more because I'm not used to 7th chords yet.

I will practice my singing, my chords and my scales. I'll definately get my turn next Monday.

In today's music class we learned about 7th chords. There are many types of 7th chords: major, minor, dominant, major-minor, and diminished. Then, we submitted our minus-1s to Mr. Herry. After submitting them, each of us went to our respective music instrument classes. Me and my fellow piano friends stay in the room. Mr. Herry told us to play the C scale in 4 octaves. Then he gave us homework to practice the G, D, A, and E scale.

In my opinion, I did pretty well in this session. I prepared my minus-1 already. But when I played the C scale, my fingering position were not very good, because I forgot some of them.

I will practice my scales, just as Mr. Herry told us to do at home. Then, I will continue to memorize my song choice for Wednesday.

Today our music class is the last period of the day. Mr. Herry reminded us about the singing assessment for next week and then talked about what will we learn for this semester. After that, he gave us a theory exercise. Then, we split up according to our instrument choice to our respective rooms. Mr. Herry talked about the piano and guitar instruments. Not long after that it is home time already.

I did well on the music theory exercise. Mr. Herry himself told me that. For me it was pretty easy because I studied major scales and chords for a long time.

I will continue to prepare for the singing assessment, figure out what song will I sing and download the minus-1 of the song. Then I will practice singing the song until I can sing it correctly.

Today is the first day of music class. We listened to Mr. Herry's explanation about what music class will be like. From him, we also know what will we learn this term. After that, the new students introduce themselves in front of the class. After they are finished, the other music teachers also introduced themselves.

For the rest of music class, we listened to what Mr. Herry has to say. I think I did a pretty good job by concentrating.

I will try to do my best in the future. I will figure out what song I want to sing next week and research about some of the musical terms that I don't understand.
