       Today, Mr. Sadrakh told us our scores for singing and presenting work. I got 7/10 for the singing and I got 7/8 for my presentation. I was happy for my presenting score but not so much for the singing. The music instrument assessment is coming up, I chose "Potong Bebek Angsa" for my song. Mr. John  showed us the "Tabs" for Potong Bebek Angsa. I thought it was the normal one but it's actually the high tune one. I think it's okay for me to play the high tune one because that's the only one that was written on the board.Now, I have to practice often so I won't fail the test.

   Today, I presented my music project. with my group members. I was quite nervous at that time. Usually, I am nervous because it comes to me naturally, but this time, I am nervous because I am not very satisfied with the powerpoint presentation. Good thing my group was able to present properly because I was quite worried , not about he powerpoint presentation but about how we present it. If we get to work together again, I will try to get the powerpoint job and make the powerpoint better.

Today, Mr. Sadrakh told us to present about our group's progress and the members jobs. Our captain, Andrew was absent and my Vice captain too so I feel kind of awkward presenting in front of my classmates. I discussed with Mourezky and Brian that I will make an emergency powerpoint presentation just in case that Andrew was absent. For some reason, it's very, very, very, rare for both Captains and Vice captains to be late at the same time. Next time, I will try to contact them for some information on the time when they will be absent or not because if that are absent and we are told to present about our group's progress, it will be hard to explain about the Captain and the Vice captain's jobs because they are the one who knows all of our jobs and some of us don't know their's since there are one or two students who talks in front.

 Today we reviewed the project given from Mr. Sadrakh. Our group can explain because all of us except Nathan, went to Angie's house to research about the similarities and differences of the instruments in Sumatra and Java. Our group was able to come up with a powerpoint presentation which shows the similarities and differences between Sumatra and Java. Next time, I will try to improve my group's current status to make it better than usual.

I learned about making a blog. I was late, in fact, everyone was.I don't like being late because Mr. Sadrakh will get mad at us. I was told only to make three sentences but I will try to do more so that my personal engagement score will be higher and so is my GPA.Next time, I will try not to be late so we have a balance time for both Music theory and the instrument class.

Today we reviewed the natural scale or the C major scale, I sharp, II sharp, III sharp. i can easily remember I sharp and III sharp but not the rest. It was hard to remember the three sharp at first but I can sort of remember it now. I will try to remember more of them so my knowledge and understanding score will be higher. So, next time I will try to remember most of the scales that were taught.

 Today we didn't do much. I passed the assessment so i don't have to redo. Most people like Mourezky had a passing score but still wants to redo to get a better score. I didn't redo because I have a score of 7.5. That score is good enough because I was taught by Mr. Loyd that I just have to pass in everything to pass the grade level. Next time, I will try to get a good mark so I would have a lower chance to stay on the same grade level.

 Today, I was taught about the G major scale. I can do it well, I memorized it, it contains G,A,B,C,D,E,F#,G. I had no problems with C major scale/natural scale. If I was called to tel Mr. Sadrakh to say out the Natural scale without reading, I can do it quickly.Next time, i will try to understand most of the scales to have a better score in my Knowledge and understanding criteria.

      Today I learned about the C major scales. I understood it well and I had memorized it. Next time I wish to learn more about the major scales.
