Term 4 week 5

Guiding Question : How well did my singing assessment go ?

Music Theory Class :

On Monday, my class had our group singing assessment on a jazz song titled "Close to You". This song was originally sung by carpenters. We had one week to prepare ourselves for this assessment and each group consisted of 3 people, 2 girls and 1 boy. My group mates were olivia and also derrick. As soon as we knew our groups, we started to practice with our groups and my group had much help from our music instrument, Mr. Sadrakh. He helped us in making the harmonization to the song and he also accompanied us in our practices. After having quite enough practices, I think my group did really good in the assessment. We were all able to memorize the song and sang it well. I also feel happy that my group actually got the highest score in our class. I think, we could have done better if we had done more practices together.

Music Instrument Class :

This week, we only had one music instrument session because the music instrument class on monday was used for our group singing assessment. On Wednesday, me and also my other class mates used the short time that we had for the class to practice playing "Autumn Leaves". We chose to practice that because we want to prepare ourselves for our last practical assessment later on, which is the group jazz ensemble. It had been a while since we last practiced to play this song in the music instrument class, and I think we did quite good. We just need to do more practices on our own in order to be able to play it more fluently.
