I've done the homework perfectly, but the teacher give us another task to make the major seventh chord for the rest of the major scales. Before that, some of my friends wants to re-do the singing assessment because they don't satisfied of their work for the assessment and some of them forgot most of the lyric when they did the real assessment. I'm so happy because I got nine for the singing assessment. The teacher told us about the last assessment before the idul fitri break. I need to make a booklet about the great musical composer I've chosen. And after the idul fitri break I need to choose one of the composer's music and perform it with my instrument.

The teachers check the music students' blog spot addresses. I give the wrong address of my blog. Because the teacher can't find my blog, so i log in to the website and look my correct address. Then, the teacher check my blog. I miss one post, because I haven't pose last meeting's reflection. And he ask me to add a video on the blog that show practices I've done for assessments. Maybe I should make the video for the next assessment which is play a song from a great composer. I will chose the composer of a song that I can play in guitar. There's a home work about making the seventh major chord of C, G, D and A.

Today, me and group did the the group presentation about the musical eras. starts from Baroque music, Classic, Romantic and the modern classic. I did the slide about the classical music's instruments. We have a problem on the making of the presentation, there's only one person who have a laptop. So , we need to make the slides in the same day as the presentation day. but at last , it's done. Our group did the presentation well enough even though it's a little bit short comparing to the others. I need to improve my cooperation skill if there's any group work, so that I can cooperate with my friends easily and better.

The time has come. I feel so nervous before the class start. but I'm really sure that when I've done the singing assessment I will be a hundred time more relief than before. But still I'm so nervous, my whole body is trembling. I already download the karaoke version of the song. Some of my friends sing so well, when it is my my turn I feel so nervous. I feel bad when i was singing, I can't stop trembling when I'm singing, the good news is I remember the whole lyric without any mistake. Some of my friend said that my performance was good, but I think it is so bad. From this assessment I really learned to be more confident in front of people. I really feel much relief after the assessment is done, I feel pity for my friends that need to perform next week because the class has over, I'm sure that they can't enjoy their weekend well. The teacher told us to prepare the material for the presentation, the next assessment.

I've got the song that I will sing for the assessment next meeting. The tittle is "Rhythm Of Love" By the Plain White T's. I choose this song because it was easy to sing, I already remember the whole song because I have listen to this song many times and the lyric is easy to remember. The teacher give us time to practice in front of the class even though it's only get in front, bow, and learn how to adjust the microphone so that when the real assessment come we can adjust the microphone easily. I need to practice a lot at home for the assessment.

I learned some theory of music in this session. i learned major keys from c until c#. I learned a lot for this theory because before I'm not too good for this, then now I know most of the major scales and know where to put the sharp symbols in every major scale. I just found a sort of formula for the major scale, first it start with c major scale which all notes are natural, the fifth note will be the next scale and the fourth will be the note with the sharp symbol for the next scale. But, I'm still confuse for the major scale with flat symbol. I need to learn more about the major scale for the flat symbol. i ask for help from my friends, the expert one, and learn a bit about the major scale with flat.
