We studied about reading music during the theory music class. We also copied our AA'BA' songs to the draft paper given by Mr. Herry. Then during the instrument class we tried playing our AA'BA' composition on our respective instruments.

I finished my composition on the previous lesson. I think the result of my composition is pretty good.

I will continue to practice playing my composition on my instrument at home.

During today's theory music class we learned the term 'diatonic scales', which consist of major and minor scales and different types of songs like rondo, sonata and concerto. Then, Mr. Herry gave us an example of a rondo (not exactly rondo but AA'BA'). Then, at the instrument class we did our AA'BA' composition.

I did pretty well in this lesson. I did my research on the song types but it is not quite enough. Then, I finished the composition in instrument class.

I will do my own composition on the AA'BA' song and practice more on composing songs.

"Serenade" Video 4

Reflection:

This is my fourth practice video for "Serenade" by Franz Schubert. I guess I did this better than the previous videos because I received an email from YouTube saying that my video can be threatened with copyrights. I still need to pay attention to the dynamics and avoid making mistakes while playing.

"Serenade" Video 3

Reflection:

This is my third try on the same day for "Serenade" by Franz Schubert. I did better than the first and second video in this video but I still need to pay attention to the dynamics more. I also need to avoid making small mistakes while playing this song.

"Serenade" Video 2

Reflection:

This video is recorded based on my second try on "Serenade" by Franz Schubert of the day. I still made a few mistakes while playing the song. I payed attention to the dynamics more but I still missed some of them. Maybe this is because I didn't practice the song on the previous day.

"Serenade" Video 1

Reflection:

I recorded this video based on my practice on "Serenade" by Franz Schubert. In this video I made some mistakes while playing and sometimes I unintentionally ignored the dynamics written on the music sheet. I will try to pay attention to the dynamics more.

7th Chords Video 2

Reflection:

This is my second attempt on playing the 7th chords (major, dominant, major minor, half-diminished and diminished) from C to B. There are a few mistakes that I made while practicing. I didn't play them perfectly but I played them better than my first video on the 7th chords.
