Today, we are going to put in our presentation next week. Then, we heard the Japanese team presentation.
5 February 2009
Today, we present our presentation about "Music in India". Our presentation was the longest and funniest, that was why the Japanese and Korean presentation was cut because we took too long. I think everybody did a good job Though the time was a bit too short for all the 4 group's presentation.

16 April 2009
Today, Mr Sadrakh checked our homework of who isn't done (the 16 bars, G major scale). Then we copied the FINALE software website to download at our journal, so we can download it at home. Then Mr. Sadrakh showed us how to use the FINALE software. One student tried to use the software: Michelle. Hanif wants to try it too because he does not really understands, but since there was an "Instrument class" he didn't want to try it. At home, I tried to download it but it wouldn't work and so, I called my friend, Rama and asked where he bought the FINALE program. So, I was forced to buy the FINALE software at Ratu Plaza.
20 April 2009
Today, non of the students did their homework. Mr Sadrakh was mad but didn't expressed to hard. Mr. Sadrakh gave a chance to give it lastly, on Thursday, 23 April 2009. Gladly we had a chance (for all of us).
23 April 2009
Today, I submitter my FINALE homework, both soft copy (on the computer) and the hard copy (by paper) both to Mr. Sadrakh and Mr. Herry. Some, surprisingly did not do it and was told to e-mail their soft copy to Mr. Sadrakh's and Mr. Herry's e-mail. The hard copy for them can be given tomorrow. Mr. Sadrakh and Mr. Herry showed us how to use the blog in order for us to use it at home without being confused. The demonstration was helped by Nadira. Then, the piano and the guitar is doing their assesment. Since the violin and vocal/choir group was done with their assesment, we just did the pose, just to be photo.
4 May 2009
Mr. Sadrakh checked our homework carefully. Our homework was G Major Chord - III, V, VI, VII. Mr. Sadrakh checked it carefully so everybody will get an A for this homework. Well, that was what Mr. Sadrakh did for me. Then, some of the students still doesn't understand about the notes so Mr. Sadrakh has to explain it again. Mr. Sadrakh showed us the C (lowest) and F (highest) with 3 "line helper" (in Bahasa Indonesia, it is called "Garis Bantu") and it is above the line, not on the line. I thought that I had understand but maybe it is nocer that someone can explain again, so it will be clearer and hopefully, I wouldn't be wrong too!
7 May 2009
In the theory class, Mr. Sadrakh checked if we did all our work which are the blog site, FINALE including the soft copy and hard copy. Of course, Mr. Sadrakh also checked the people who brought their songs and instruments (if needed). We had practice our song on our Instrument Class. Mr. Sadrakh wrote the chord so he can play my song as the background sound. I also thought some of my friends to do the violin. Hanif was always fooling around with the keyboard in the violin classroom while the other practice, sometimes seriously and sometimes not. It was hard to convince him to practice. By the time to perform as a practice in front of our class, Hanif wasn't able. Though, when I perform in front of everyone, they all claped for me! ^^
