Today we learnt about chord inversions. The highest 2 notes stay and the lowest one moves an octave higher, and this makes the next inversion.

Today was the music assessment day. All of us from the music section performed a classic song with their respective instruments. I think everybody did a great job. However, I think my performance of Romance 'D Amour was not so good because I was so nervous.

Term 3 Reflection

This is the first time I took music as a subject. Before this, I never took music subjects and the seriousness of the class shocked me.
I learnt about the differences and similarities between Classical and Popular music. I learnt about the time periods and we made projects as groups and also individually.
The projects were very challenging, such as a presentation about Classical vs. Popular music for at least 5 minutes, and an individual report about the same topic. We did a lot of research to finish these projects, even gathering sound samples.
Overall, I learnt a lot in both music theory and instruments class. I feel like I have improved a lot in guitar playing, we learnt how to play scales and form chords from scales. I also learnt new chords and scales and learnt how to play "Hotel California" accompaniment. I have to improve my knowledge about music notation.

I have learnt and discussed about what we learnt in the presentations of the groups. We learnt a lot of things such as the classical and popular music differences. I also learnt about many composers. I think next week we will start on music theory (notation).

Today the groups did presentations about "Classical vs. Popular Music". I learnt a lot from all of the presentations. Our group also did a presentation. I think in the next class we will have a re-cap of the presentations.

Today, Mr. Herry taught us and gave us an introduction about "Classical vs. Popular Music". I think that in the next class we will discuss more about what we learnt.
