Today, in this music session, we submitted our compositions. We also pasted our compositions into this booklet handed out when we first entered the classroom. After we pasted the rondo compositions, we wrote down the reflections, things about the song and what do we feel about the song. After submitting the booklet, we had to submit the soft copies as well. I forgot to bring my hard disk so I decided that i would send it later that night to Mr. John's email.

Today we received the unit planner for term 2 music. According to the schedule, we need to submit our final rondo composition this week. Afterwards, we discussed the results of our singing and I think i got a pretty good score which is 8/10. Maybe it wasn't perfect but then at least that was already a good score

Today is the day that we are going to do our singing assessment. For the assessment, we have to sing the Indonesian patriotic song titled " Indonesia pusaka". Firstly, we practiced for the last time, then we started to sing one by one. I took some time adjusting my voice because some of my friends voice a re higher and lower than me so I had to adjust the pitch of the song. Afterwards, i think i did pretty good i this assessment.

Today, in music, we continued making our rondo composition. I was also a bit stressed because Mr. John was still absent because he, as my guitar teacher could help me in doing my rondo composition by giving some tips and advice. Afterwards, some of use were asked to play just the first 8 bars of our rondo composition. Most of my friends rondo composition sounded very good. Then, we each went to our instrument classes.

Sadly, today Mr. john was absent so Mr. Herry and Mr. Harry helped and took over for Mr. John. During this session, we were given a brief explanation about the rondo composition we were already starting to make. To help me even more, I used a guitar to help me continue my rondo composition since the guitar is my best instrument and its easy for me to understand. We did this activity for 2 sessions straight.

On monday, we didn't have classes. This session, the one joining the binus music fiesta were told that he/she should practice their song in the theory classroom. Some of my friends went to their own instruments classroom so they could focus better there. I also went to the guitar classroom and played my song, Choros composed by J.Pernambuco. After I played, Mr. John gave me some tips and advice on how to play that song better

Today, we looked again about the sister scales and stuff related to it. As we learned, it eventually got harder and challenging because of the sharps and the flats. Mr. John tested our knowledge and understanding about this so he asked us one by one to see if we understood. Then, we wrote the important things to remember in our notebooks and then we went to instrument class, where my teacher discussed about the music fiesta that i was going to be joining
