Reflection Week 8 (28 May- 1 June, 2012)

How was my Jazz ensemble performance?

My performance today went well because I do a lot of practices either individually or group. My group did really well, we also add some part when we sing together. I was quite nervous because I'm the opening "act". I really hope that my score will end up good. This assessment is GREAT!

Today we don't have any instrument class because the time was used for the ensemble performances. I'm very satisfied with the assessment today due to the reason that my group performance was very good. I'm really proud of you Ivy, Valerie, Raka, Gaby, Jesslyn, and Reikhan. We did a good job! :D

Today is May 30th and this is my last day of music class. I wont be having any music class is grade 11, I dont know why though... Since this is the last class and i wont be meeting my incredible teachers, i just want to say thank you for everything. Thank you for guiding me patiently when i make mistakes. I'm truly sorry about all my mistakes, learning the flute,etc. I hope we can see each other again soon when I was in grade 11. All of you are the greatest most amazing teachers that I ever met. Love you all so much :') 

Reflection Video Week 4

Honestly this video is kinda embarrassing because when it started i directly sing.. so this video is very awkward. But anyway, in this video i am practicing my scales again and i also practice singing "Close To You" because theres a singing assessment coming up. For the singing, i am voice 1 which sings the real/ original tone of the song. Wish me luck for the assessment everyone!

Reflection Video Week 2

Same as the previous video, i am still practicing my scale skills because i didnt do any practice that often (honestly). I'm quite ashamed of my self because i should've done better than this. But i'm still learning so.. Keep moving Anti, you can do it. Make Mr. Hary proud!!

Reflection Video Week 1

In this reflection video, i still have to improve in my blowing and my breathing. I also have to master the scales because it would be difficult if i have to think what is the scale before i play a song. I think that my hand position is wrong too because in playing this instrument, our hands was meant to be straight with our shoulder. Thus i have to remember to raise my hands a little if i'm going to play in the correct position

Reflection Video Week 6

In this video, what i need to improve is in the melody or the composition of "Close To You". I have to practice more because it's for the assessment which is the Jazz ensemble. I will keep trying until i get it right. What is a student without having some mistakes in his/her way of learning. Thus it's my job to keep trying to get it right, wish me luck!

Reflection Video Week 7

What I have to improve in this video is i have to develop my skill in blowing a flute and my breathing skill. I have to remember to test my flute first before playing it. Why? It's because i should not be fixing the flute while i already start blowing. Thus i have to be more careful and test the flute before i start playing the song

Reflection Week 7 (May 21-25, 2012)

What do you think of your jingle?


For this jingle task, I am pairing with my best friend Ivy. She's really nice to work with and i really like her coordination. Our theme for the jingle is Beautiful Indonesia, thus it has to be about Indonesia. We divide our work to two part, which is the jingle composition and the video. Her job is to compose the jingle since i'm not good at it. My job is to make the video which consists of pictures, clips, description, etc. So, my task is to collect some pictures of indonesia and also some short clips of the traditional dances then compile it to a video with no music since the audio is with her. Then after it's done, Ivy and I review it together and the result was amazing. I couldnt be more proud of her composition and my own video.

Reflection Week 6 (May 14-18,2012)

How's the progress of your Jazz Band?


My band progress went really well. We work as a team and we also support each other. I really feel comfortable with my band because they were so funny and fun to work with. For the progress in the music that we will play, we decided to play "Close To You". My band consist of Ivy, Valerie, Gaby, Jesslyn, Raka, Adam Reikhan and myself. We're still working on the intro,etc. We also need to practice more because this is going to be spectacular so we have to do our best!


Today we dont have any instrument class because we use or time to rehears Close to you. I think this far we've done good and I'm really prouf of my band because they done so well. I would like to improve in my blowing and breathing skill because i usually have some difficulties in that part. 

Reflection Week 5 (May 7-11, 2012)

How did my singing assessment go?

My singing assessment went well because we do practices. I think voice 1,2,3 is combining really well. I really enjoy singing this song because this song is very interesting and the melody is really good. I hope I get a good score!

Today we don’t have any instrument class because the time was used for the singing assessment. Thus I don’t have any time to practice my instrument.

Reflection Week 4 ( April 30 - May 4, 2012)

How does business and industry affect music-makers and users?

Music is a great way to express our self. Music contains beautiful melodies and cool effects. If music is loved by everyone in the world, thus music can be one of the sources of money. Music makers have a lot of money because their music was purchase by everyone all over the world, thus music is a good business.

Today I use my instrument time to practice for my singing assessment. Me and my group will sing "Close to you". We will sing in 3 voices to gain a good score. My group contains  5 people, which is me, ivy, richard, raka and valerie. 

Reflection Week 3 (April 23-27, 2012)

How have developments in technology changed the ways in which we engage with music?

With development in technology, music also develop. Why? because with more technology, some genres can have more affects and improve in terms of recording. Pop music is one of the genres that was affected by development in technology. Thus, development in technology really impacts music.

Today we dont have any instrument class. We use the time to do the theory test. It was very hard, thus we need all the time that we can get.

Reflection Week 2 ( April 16-20, 2012)

What are the functions of music in society?

There are so many positive impact and functions. Music can be a hobby, accompaniment when studying, help the brain to improve and as an entertainment. I really love to listen to music because it makes me relax and calm down. I wouldnt be able to live without music. It is truly the biggest factor of happiness for me.

What i do in instrument class is playing F major scale and F major 7th because we didnt have enough time. The reason that we didnt have any time is because we have a test and it needs lots of time

Reflection Week 1 (April 9-13,2012)

What is the role of music in your life?

Music is everything to me. I listen to music every second of my life. I would listen to music when i was bored, doing some homework, browsing the internet, study, etc. Music also makes me happy when i'm sad or angry. I even listened to music when i woke up and do my morning routine.

In instrument class, me and my friend choose a song for the ensemble and try to play it. I didnt do it because my flute was missing and it was not found. I really hope I can find it as soon as possible.
