23 September 2010
Today, Mr Herry checked our things and after that, we are told to do the Major Scales of C-G-D-A-E-B-F-Bb.  I think I did pretty well because of the score I got :).  Other than this, we did nothing else.  We took the whole 2*40 sessions to do all this.  I guess it was new for some people.  Therefore, no Instrument class.  Next time, I would try to be more active and observant.

20 September 2010
Today, Mr Herry told us to do F Major root and the 2 inversions.  After that, we did the Bb (flat) Major, with root chord and 2 inversions, while Derik played his violin assessment.  I got correct for both F and Bb major, gladly.  Then, I got my scores from Term 1.  I think that it is not that bad.  I am contented.  After that, there is a little instrument gathering.  Since there was little time left, we just discussed about what we just did (the root chord and inversions).  Next time, I would like to try a better score for my assessment, and hopefully, I would succeed in doing so!

Gavotte from "Mignon" by A. Thomas

2 September 2010
Today, Mr. Herry told us to make another triad chord so that we are going to be ready for our assesment when we get back from the holiday.  After writing the root chord of C - B, we then write the 1st and 2nd inversion of the chord.  For now, I get all correct, hoping that I would also get a good mark later in term 2.  After this, according to our instruments, we went to the instrument class and we practiced there on what we are going to perform later on Monday, 6 September.  The song that I am going to play is Gavotte from "Mignon" by A. Thomas.  Since there was time, I was given a chance to play in front of the audience.  A bit nervous but then, there was only one person who clapped her hand to me :(.  The others went out already because it is already time.
