Week 3 - 20-04-2010 & 23-04-2010

20 - 04 - 2010

Activity:

Today, we planned to watch Music Commercial Videos for our Business FInal Project, which is making own advertisement, but we didnt. Then, Mr. Herry revised about how to compose a song using the software of Finale. The way how to put 4 different instruments into one composition. For this project, we have to make a jingle of our own company's product in form of 16 bars song with minimum number of instrument, which is 4. Last session, we spent our time to perform a rehearsal of each group. Finally, we went to our instrumental class and practice together with our groupmates and supervisor.

Difficulties:

-

Solution:

23-04-2010

Activity:

Today, we reviewed our video blog. Only 8 students who stayed in the class, while the others were asked by Mr. Herry to do their reflection in Library. Previously, we watched Music Commercial Video from Coca Cola, and other 'not so famous' brands. For the rest of the session, we practiced our Jazz Collaboration Performance inside the instrument class.

Diffulties:

- I found out that making a recognizable jingle for a product is quite hard

Solution:

- I will research more advertisement in order to observe how the company makes a recognizable jingle.

Reflection about video:

- I still can't play the song of "All of Me" with violin better than the ones in the previous videos since I don't have much time to practice violin. Later, I will practice in a longer time if i don't have other subjects' homework to do and family gathering to attend

Week 2 - 13-04-10 & 16-04-10

13 April 2010

Activity:
Today, I did my singing performance of "I Got Rhythm" Song. Actually, I thought theory quiz would be held today since I got an email from Face that says Tuesday, 13 April 2010, we will have our quiz. But, I was surprised when my friends said that the singing assessment will be held today. When singing, I was very nervous and frequently forgot the lyrics in the middle of singing. But luckily, I got 9 for the assessment because I did the movement and did not hold the paper. The rest of the time, we had a video blog review

Difficulties:
Since I was absent last friday and I didnt know that today would be the day for singing assessment, I didnt prepare for everthing. So, I faced difficulties in memorizing the lyrics while singing.

Solution:
Later, if I'm absent, I will ask my friends in order to confirm whether the information on Facebook of Binus Music is reliable or not so that I will not get the wrong information again.

16 April 2010

Activity:
Today, I did my theory quiz about Jazz Music and Notation Quiz about Chord Major 7, Dominant 7, Minor 7, Chord 9 and 11. Personally, I could answered all Notation questions since I understand the topic, but I faced the difficulties in answering the Jazz Theory Quiz. I never thought that the quiz will be that hard. But, I answered all questions and hopefully, my answer will be correct although I was not so sure about my answer. The rest of the time, we had video blog review and group rehearsal

Difficulties:
I faced difficulties in answering the Jazz Theory Quiz since I did not remember some of the things in Ragtime Era.

Solution:
I will study harder in order to get a better score and greater understanding.

Video:

Im sorry for not being able to use bow in playing the violin since my family was disturbed by the sound of the violin. Later, I will find the right time when all family members are outta this house for a while, then I will shoot a video of me playing the violin using bow.

Week 1 - 06-04-2010 & 09-04-2010

06 April 2010

Activity:

Today is the first music session in term 3. There were many activities that we did. First, we reviewed our notation topic. We discussed about major 7, dominant 7, chord 9 and 11. We also watched Jazz Music videos. There were The Carpenter's Close to You, Norah Jones' Don't know why, Michael Buble's The Last Dance, Sway, Fly Me to the Moon, and All of Me. After watching all of those videos, we were grouped into 4 different groups. My group consists of Floransie from Woodwind Class, Nadia from Piano Class, Derian from Guitar Class, and Hoang Anh from Violin Class. We will be performing the song of All of Me by Michael Buble in the end of April, around 27-30 April 2010. After that, we made 5 questions from our term 3 Jazz Genre group, which my group was Ragtime. So I made 5 questions about Ragtime Jazz.

Difficulties:

- I personally imagined that the collaboration performance will be so tough since this is our first time

Solution:

- I will practice with one of my group mates first, then start to practice with the others.

09 April 2010

Today, I was absent since I'm not feeling very well and in Monday, there are many homework to do. Since Friday, there is no assignments or quizzes to do, my mother told me not to attend school that day so as not to be so tired in Monday. Later, I will catch up the topic that were discussed today by asking some of my friends
