Music Reflection - 28 May 2012

Today is the day of our last session in music. There were some 'emotional' feelings going on around the room. We again practiced playing the composition in our respective room. Then, Mr. Hary gave us an advice for Ronaldo to play the chords in different ways to mix the feelings and the moods. So, the whole music session, Ronaldo and I experimented on playing the composition with the different chord-playing variations.

Today, we were told that we are going to get a MDW on Monday and also that the last day of the submission is on the 8th of June which is the performance day. Afterwards, we went into each of our groups and we went to different rooms to practice. This was good because then we won't be interrupted by the others. This was pretty much it, and nothing else happened after this.

Today, we did the same thing as usual. We were practicing our composition and such. Nothing much happened after that, and we basically did this for the whole session. I have to practice the counter melody as soon as possible because the day of performance is near!

Today, is the day of the submission over our final draft for our composition. We submitted ours in time of course, and we edited a couple of parts from our last draft. We spent most of the music session to rehearse playing the composition in front of the class again. Afterwards, we gather up according to the groups and do whatever needs to be done.

This is a video that we took about a week ago. This video is me and Ronaldo only practicing the song, and Steven wasn't here because he left early. So, this is me experimenting on playing the song with an electric guitar because Ronaldo and I thought that the sound from an electric is much more louder and clearer than in acoustic. The problem was that I wasn't able to control the noise level of the notes. Each note had a different noise level, so I have to control the noise level next time if we are going to use the electric guitar later for our performance day.

Today is the due date of the draft of our composition, and my group obviously submitted the draft first. It is all thanks to Ronaldo for making the draft for the group. Then, we rehearsed playing the composition again. However, this time we got an advice from Mr. John about me playing my guitar. He saw that I play with an acoustic guitar that has an electric cord. So, he suggested that I bring a cable to connect it to the amplifier, so that the sound will be louder. Afterwards, we watched the others rehearsing their composition in front of the class.

Music Reflection - 11 May 2012

Today, my group didn't really do much because we already quite finished with our composition. So, basically today, we just rehearsed playing the song. After that, Ronaldo and I were thinking about the things that are needed when we are going to perform later. Then, I was practicing my part in the song, which is Counter Melody. I haven't really master this part yet. So, I better practice the part fast before the day of the performance.
