practice 6 evaluation

In my sixth practice I think I kind of used to the chord, so I have minimize my mistakes when playing the chord, in this practice I think I should concern more about the guitar, because we are not playing it together at the same time, the melody is not fit in, I think I am too fast so the guitar couldn't catch up, then next time if i have a rehearsal again i will try to play it better with no mistakes and also match with the guitar playing

Today we were having a commercial introduction which is our assessment tasks for music and business. Mr. Herry showed us the example of the commercial to give us some ideas of how would we make or do the tasks. After that Mr. Herry taught us how to make a melody with at least 4 instrument for the jingle (musical advertising) using finale, we have to make 16 bars of the melody. I think i have to prepare or at least try the finale as soon as possible, so i can make a suitable jingle for my product and get a good marks in the assessment tasks for business and music. After we discussed about the assessment, we were having a rehearsal of the instrument group, in the rehearsal i think i didn't do it so well because my melody is too high for the singers so Mr.John will change the chord from Am to Em

practice 5 evaluation

In my fifth practice i record my practice session in the class, because i thought it was more interesting to practice with the other friends including Mr.John rather than i practice alone. And when we're practicing together it sounded more fun, in this practice i think i still have some mistakes when playing the chord, since Mr.John just changed the chord from Am to Em so i'm not really used to it. I think i should have more practice at home, so i will not have some mistakes again when playing the chord.

practice 4 evaluation

in this practice i think there is no significant improvement from the practice 3, because as the practice 3 i just practiced about the chord and also the intro, but because i am boring to play the chord with one hand and the right hand not playing anything, i try to play the chord with two hands, then i know it will be better to play it in one hand because with two hands it was more complicated.

Today we have a theory quiz. The quiz was about history of jazz in general and based on my genre, and also the notation. i think i have done the quiz pretty well, but i still have some difficulties in the history of jazz especially in general, because i almost forgot about it, so i have to learn more about history of music to get a better marks next time

practice 3 evaluation

in this third practice i just played the intro and the chord and not playing the melody. i guess the chord is not too hard but i think i have to learn more in playing the chord E7 and Bm7, because it was the most difficult chord that i have in the whole song. in school, i have practice with my singer which is raissa and also mr.John as a guitarist. In my third practice, i think i still have difficulties in chord E7 and Bm7 so i have to practice that two chords more so i will use to it and i can play it clearly.

Practice 2 evaluation

i think my second practice was not really have a changes or improvement from my first practice, because i just played the same way as practice 1. But in this practice i think i played the song better than the first practice. In this practice, i still have some mistakes, so i must practice the song more to play it clearly.

09/04/10

Today me and my group wrote the presentation about Swing Jazz which is the question and the answer that we have make last session. After writing the presentation every group have to performed and answer the question that we make, the question asked by the other group. My group present quite well, because i think we were well-prepared. After that we practiced I Got Rhythm song for the assessment next session which is next Tuesday.

06/04/10

Today we learned about notation, watching jazz music video, grouping and question making. For the grouping, my supervisor is Mr.John and my group members are Raissa, Syahbanu, Daud, and Ciayadi. And the grouping is for an assessment to performing a jazz song like we are making a band or something. The due date for this assessment is the and of april. About the notation, i think i have to learned more to make it better

practice 1 evaluation

i think my 1st practice is not really bad, but of course i have some mistakes in this practice. this is the part 1 and 2 of the song, i only practice this part because i didn't know how to play the next part, i haven't got the complete song notes. And since i just got a little time to practice with my group and Mr.John so i just make the chord to practice my self, but i am not sure that this chord is right or wrong, i think i have to make some improvisation to make the chord better, i will ask Mr.John later. But, after all i think my first practice is so so, not good and also not really bad

19/03/10

Today we studied about notation especially major 7th, dominant 7th and minor 7th. We learned C,G,D,A,E,F,Bb,Eb,Ab scale. I think this chord 7th is quite confusing especially for Bb,Eb,Ab scale, so i have to revise again about it at home, and i will try to memorize it. So i will not confused.
