29 October
We started with our attendance and check our Finale works. We were told we will perform next Thursday instead. Mr. Sadrakh chose 4 boys to perform their melodies. In Violin class, each student played their melody. I heard my classmates' melodies and I like them.
28 October
We started today with the attendance and checked if we did or did notdownload Finale 2009. Then Mr Sadrakh told us we'd rather have Finale than writting our music with our hands. He told us how to make the music with different instruments and how to make 4 bars every row.

22 October
As usual, we started our lesson with our attendance.Then we were supposed to put lyrics on our sheet of paper with our melody. Amatta's, I heard was about cows. Joanna's was about happiness, Vienna's about her melody and mine was about the sound of music. We were told by the teacher that we were going to be assessed on Thursday next week about playing our melody. Then we were told how to download and open our Finale 2009.

We started the attendance, then we discussed our homework on making the 16 bars song. We were told to copy it on an "Assessment" Sheet and our teacher will give us a high score if we wrote it neatly. We sang Silver Moon Boat, a chinese folk song, with a partner. We should make lyrics tonight for our melody.

Mr. Sadrakh was writting on the whiteboard when the students of 6B came in. The first thing we did was the attendance. Then he told us to copy what he wrote on the board. Then he said stop writting and open the sheet of the Indonesian songs and we sang Gundul Pacul. He told us to sing it with a partner according to the attendance. Then he told us to continue copying what he wrote.

October 14
The few minutes before starting the class, everybody was fussing about our homework, the part where we have to write the chords (view post October 8). We started on the attendance and everyone was complete. Only 1 wasn't I think… Anyways, we checked our homework and a few, VERY lucky students succeeded to scramble the chords on-time at the last minute. YAY (For them anyway ⌣)!!! As we checked, I heard some people asking each other about the costume party (why exactly?!). We were quizzed on chords and mr. Sadrhakh did the "hand chord and note finder thing" again. He gave us a song sheet with a chinese and Japanese song and we sang a chinese folk song about the moon boat. That was the end of the music lesson…

October 8~post 15
I came to class early to find Atta (amatta)playing piano. Before we started checking the attendance, we collected our music books to check the homework (from yesterday's post). We started to learn Pentatonic Scale #2 which is C, E, F, G, B. We also learnt chords and how to count them using our fingers. We made the pentatonic #2 melody and listened to Joshua, Louis, Alex and Jonathan's works. We had homework to make 16 bars of melody + chords using either pentatonic #1 or #2. Mr. Herry said we can repeat the first three bars so it would be easier.

7 October-Post 14
We started with the attendance (as usual O.o). Some people got a homework incomplete, either blog or the Music Developmental Workbook. Mr. Sadrakh said that if they didn't submit it tomorrow, they'd probably be given a 0. We got a song sheet of songs from Java and some onfo at the back. We were taught pantatonic scale no. 1: do re mi sol la. Mr Sadrakh told us we will learn for no. 2 tomorrow. We had to make a melody consisting of pantatonic scale no.1, 8 bars 4 by 4 and must be an in-tuned melody.
