DAILY REFLECTION

Such reflections tend to make me more to look back to what I've learned before and what difficulties I faced.
When I was working on reflection, I tend to remember. And because of that reason,  I usually can learn and recall again and again.
until now, what I have learned in music class are around  the background, characteristics, and all kinds of music. Also, we are taught to summarize, make power point presentation, singing,etc.

Over all, all activities that we have done before in music lesson were so fun and make us learn a lot of things we haven't learned before

REFLECTION 2

-Power Point Presentation-
What I did at that time to this task was to distribute the parts of the task evenly to all my friends.  
After that, we, one by one tried to focus on our respective parts and seek the fullest data on an individual basis. Because I got the rock and roll, I find the data as I could and tried to did everything within my means. Besides that, I also tried to find information that was unique and desired to be known by teachers and useful for other friends.
In doing the task, I didn't find any significant difficulties because actually I was only looking for and develop in my opinion and understand what i wrote.
For this task, I feel that this is so important, because we as students, often in order to forget about the usefulness of internet and we often abuse it. and we also often don't understand the background of what we did, but with this task we were able to find out more about what is being discussed in our music class, which are about music era and its characteristics.
I will seek more leverage for tasks like this, for the future. I also would like to develop my skills because with these tasks, is a great opportunity for me to make a good progress.

REFLECTION

-Sing-
In fact, to sing at that time, I used a song sung by taylor swift, called white horse 
I chose that song, because I thought it was a song that is quite pleasant to hear for most people and is a song known by most people, especially who loves music.
In that time, I encountered some difficulties, as in memorized and also control my emotions, and kept away excessive sense of worry when I was singing in front of my friends.
From this lesson, I could learn many things, like, I learned to be more confident and sing in front of the people.  
In addition, I also able to convince and make progress on me, especially in the field of music and singing.
For the future, what I have to do is more prepare for every assessment , because as we all know, in the conduct of learning there is no "enough". 
Therefore, we must continue to learn and train ourselves into a better direction.

5,7, 12 march

actually, today i was practiced my guitar with mr john.. i got all the materials that given by the teachers, and could remember my own 12 bar blues, it was a relief... still i will practice more at home like usual.
and almost for 2 weeks we were just practiced about our own 12 bar blues, remember that we are going to perform and we need to practice more. so either in mr hery's class or mr john, we were practiced around that topic, we did our works and we did really good for each of us. we put our efforts and did our best.

HOW IS MY PROGRESS PLAYING?
i did my rehearsal not really good but maybe so so. remember that i have not touched any instruments before and it felt so hard to play so many blues like that. them i should make my own melody, it made this work harder. i also have to practice to improve my playing and to do better in next rehearsal. sooo im going to practice more and tell mr john to help me as well. also, in my house im going to ask for help with someone that know better than me about blues in order to give an explanation for me.
in my instrument class also, me and all of my friends were do our 12 bar blues. we did progresses but not all of us did much, especially me because i didn't get the melody. i will practice more at home and do better for next week. i am pretty sure i can make a progress if i practice a lot

CHALLENGES IN WORKING 12 BAR BLUES?
i have to look again on my 12 bar blues and also have to make sure that my blues are good and readable for others. not only that i am going to check a look again if its good enough or not so all of my friends, which are going to listen to my blues will be satisfied with my work. It would be a reliefknowing they will receive my work with pleasure and fun to listen to my songs. NextI will immediately do exercise constantly to improve my skillsin playing the song.
  i learned about blues again in my instrument class with mr john. he has taught us about what we needed to know deeper about blues and we learned how to do blues properly

12 BAR BLUES
on monday, we were introduced to the 12 bar blues and we were expected to compose 12 bar blues of blue notes.
we should do our own, without any mistakes, because we should play it later on. i learned blues and understood the lesson well, also did my composition as well, but i dont really get and know how to make my own blues because im afraid of getting so many mistakes. because of that rreason, i will ask my friend so it will be easier for me to understand and do my work too. i believe if i try harder, it will be easier to me too, to follow the given directions
