Reflection Question: What
do you think about your Jingle music creation?
Reflection:
After I had created the Jingle music together with
my partner, I was heavily satisfied because I think that our hard work on
creating the Jingle has resulted a great Jingle music. We had not only to
create chords of the Jingle and created the Jingle together, but we also had to
revise the Jingle again in order to create a good Jingle music. I hope that
everyone also enjoys our Jingle music.

did my Jazz ensemble performance go?

My Jazz ensemble performance went well as we had
practiced seriously for several times and we did with strong collaborations.
Although I made little mistakes when I was performing, I tried to recover it by
playing better at the next melodies. I also followed my ensemble’s tempo to
perform well. Last but not least, I also concentrated on the performance
personally because this was my last assessment and by concentrating, I could
perform better.

Week 2 to Week 6 Reflections
Here are my latest music reflections so far. Sorry for the late sending and still cannot show my video because I still have difficulties on uploading it.

20th 2012
A.
Music Theory
Dates: April 17th
2012 and April 18th 2012
Topic: Major 7th,
Minor 7th, and Dominant 7th Chords
Reflection Question: What
are the functions of music in society?
Reflection:
Since my birth until now,
I heard millions of music everywhere I live in this Earth. From my past
experiences, I suggest that music always has functions in society. One example
is to entertain every soul includes animals and plants to feel the same
expression as the music flows. I heard that music can also be used for medical
purposes. Last but not least, I am sure that music can also be used for respect
reasons, such as to respect president, or to respect wise men’s death.
B.
Music
Dates: April 17th
2012 and April 18th 2012
Topic: None
Reflection:
This week, I learned
nothing in instrument class as I came at very limited times. This happened
because I had to study about Major 7th, Minor 7th, and
Dominant 7th chords. I also had the chords test that took my
instrument class time as I was given an overview about the test lesson again.
Week 3: April 23rd 2012 to April
27th 2012
A.
Music Theory
Dates: April 24th 2012 and April 25th 2012
Topic: Roles of Music in Society
Reflection Question: How have developments in technology changed the
ways in which we engage with music?
Reflection:
Technology
is a science of making devices that help human’s lifes and activities. But
nowadays, technology is heavily related to electric devices. In music,
developments in technology might change music instruments’ classic, include
physical features and sounds that are different compare to classical music
instruments. As the sound of music instruments change due to technology,
technology might change the waysin which we engage to music, include how we
enjoy and appreciate hi-tech musics.

Dates: April 24th
2012 and April 25th 2012
Topic: None
Reflection:
This week, I learned
nothing in instrument class because of the time as it was very limited. This

2012
A.
Music Theory

Topic: Major 7th, Minor 7th, and Dominant 7th Chords
Review
Reflection Question: How does business and industry affect
music-makers and users?
Reflection:
Business
and industry affect music-makers’ work efficiency on creating songs to the
listeners. With helps from business and industry, music-makers can create their
songs much more than those who do not have contracts with business and
industry. Shortly, the way business and industry affect music-makers is making
the music-makers’ work more quick to finish because of help contract approved
and the listeners can enjoy one music-maker song more as he/ she can create
more songs.

Topic: Practice singing “Close to You”
Reflection:

You” song
Reflection Question: How did my singing assessment go?
Reflection:
This
week, I had a singing assessment on group. I did this assessment well because I
had prepared well by practicing singing ten times. By doing many repetitions
singing on the song, I could memorize the song’s lyrics stronger and last
longer. When I sang the song in front of my classmates, I did not even know
that my voice became a dominant voice of my group and everybody appreciated and
applaused my group performance because I have done the singing good, together
with my group mates.

Topic: None
Reflection:
This

is ensemble performance on Jazz song.

Reflection Question: How was my Jazz ensemble group progress?
Reflection:
This
week, I started to prepare for ensemble performance on Jazz song by rehearsing
with my group mates and is supervised by Mr. Hary. For the first rehearsal, my
group progress was not good enough because there were members who were absent
at the rehearsal time. Also, we had to synchronize each other’s instrument sound
in order to create a better ensemble. Personally, I will make the group
performance good by practicing the Jazz song well.

This week,
I used my instrument class time to start preparing for ensemble performance on

group chose “Autumn Leaves” song as our Jazz song to be performed. I had no
difficulties on playing this song as I has played it for several months ago.
The only difficulty is to memorize the melody again.

Here are my weekly Music reflection of the week. This is the reflection of week 1.
A. Music Theory
Dates: April 10th 2012 and April 11th 2012
Topic: Major, Minor, and Dominant 7th Chord Revision
Reflection Question: What is the role of music in your life?
Reflection:
Music has been an important art in human life. Started from many years before Christ, music was used for many purposes. One use of music was to accompany big leaders by orchestras. And after Christ, especially starting from 16th century, music had been created into many genres with different uses. And in 21st century where I live at this time now, music fills 50% of my heart. For short, I love music as it has no negative side at all and can be used to help human. I heard that in this century, music can be used for medical purposes. This shows that music is not only by me, but all people around the world will say that music is everything.
