Term 4 week 6

Guiding Question : How is my progress in the jazz ensemble ?

Music Theory Class :

This week, we were divided in to 3 different jazz ensemble group and each group got to decide the song that they wanted to play. My group chose to play "Smile" because we think that it is not a very hard song to play, but it's a really nice song. Soon after that, we started practicing per group and I think I did quite well in the practices this week and I also have memorized the song. On Monday, I was not able to play it fluently because it was my first time to play it. But on Wednesday, I was able to play it fluently and I even increased the tempo on my second practice. 

Music Instrument Class :

This week, me and my group practiced our song for the group jazz ensemble assessment later on, which is "Smile". On Monday, my group practiced together and we didn't do very well because we were all still learning how to play it. But then, on the second meeting, we did better. I was able to play well when accompanied by my instrument teacher and I feel happy about it. But, I haven't played together with my group because my group mate who plays the piano was still learning the chords and my other two group mates were absent. In other words, we did our practices separately.
