Today, We did not have a lot of things to do. First, we reviewed about triad and also the inversions. Our teacher asked some people to answer the questions on the board. After that, we watched the piano students played the triads from C to B major, it was good. Then, our teacher distributed the music developmental work (MDW). We need to finish it by latest friday, but I will try to finish it by tomorrow. So, When I get back home, I will try to finish the music developmental workbook and also try to upload the videos which I have not done yet.

Today, We were told our singing assessment score and Im actually satisfied with it because I got 8 out of 10. I think I can improve it by learning how to avoid being nervous whenever I do my assessment. After that, We also had some review of the practical assessment. Then, we also had short quiz about the history of classical music and also about chords. I think the quiz was not very hard. After this, I will learn more about music theory and also try to upload my videos on my blog because there was some error occurred when I tried to upload it yesterday. I will also practice more how to play violin so that I can play better.

Today, I did my classical music assessment. I played 'Twinkle Twinkle' for my assessment and I was the first one from violin class who did the assessment. I think my performance was okay, but there were some notes which were not on the right pitch. After I finished my assessment, I wrote my reflection and I watched my other friends did their assessment. After this, I will practice more at home so that I can play better and I will also upload the videos of my practices before the assessment on my blog.

Today, I learned about 7th chords including major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, and also diminished 7th. I think it was not very hard to understand the topics because it's kind of simple and our teacher told us the easiest or fastest way to determine the 7th chords clearly. Other than that, We also have homework about it for next week so that We can practice even more about it. After that, I saw some of my friends did their rehearsal for next week individual practical assessment. Some of them were good, but some of them need more practice. After this, I will  learn more about 7th chords and also practice more for my practical assessment next week, and I will also record the video of me practicing violin.

Today, I did rehearsal for the solo classical music performance. I did it with 3 of my friends at the same time. I played 'Twinkle twinkle little star variations' with them because it's the song that we have learned in our practical class. It was not very good, but I can improve it by practicing more at home. Other than that, I also have to make videos of me practicing violin for the practical assessment next week and post those videos on my blog. I have to make 2 videos so that my teacher can see the progress. I think I will make the videos together with my friends this week so that We can help each other in recording our practice. For the music theory, I have learned some from teoria.com yesterday and I will try to learn more from that website and also from other sources.
