Reflection question : How was my jazz ensemble group progress?

Me and other group members are doing well with the jazz ensemble, but Samuel and me had other difficulties such as making the notes on the saxophone the same as other instruments that were played by Sarah, Nico, Dio, Cindy, and Jordi. We tried to harmonize the notes so that we can play the song perfectly. while doing that Cindy and Dio consult their own problems of laying the guitars to Mr John on how to play the chords. Sarah and Jordi also tried to harmonize the music themselves also. and Nico is absent.

Week 5 : 8-9 May 2012

Reflection question : how did my assessment go? (group singing)

My assess ment really went well because my group did practice the song, choose who is the 2nd or 3rd or 1st voice and also we tried to remember the song lyrics so that my group can have an additional scores. But our assessment didn't go that well because my voice is too low and it cannot be heard by everybody.

There is no instrument class because we use the whole 2 session for the assessments only

Week 4 : 31 April 2012

Reflection Question : How does business and industry affect music-makers and users?
Topic : Music Notation

It affects the users and music makers very much, because if the business and industry fell we won't get our favorite band's or artist selling their albums anymore or even perform to make some more music for dear listeners. Also without business and industry, music artists can't make money out of their own songs. But if Business and industry have no music makers, and users, then the business will be a dull and boring

Reflection question : How have developments in technology changed the ways in which we engaged music?
Topic : Roles of music in society

Development in technology changed the way we hear music by creating bew genres such as Trance, Techno, etc. But also many new songs nowadays used Electronic Sounds in Pop, Jazz, HipHop, RnB, and such to make a perfect instrument songs in which attract listeners. What it means electronic sound instrument means that, it edited the flaws of musical instrument sounds. and make the perfect one, and it is called autotune. These technology helped a lot in music industry.

Week 2 : 17 & 18 April 2012

Reflection question : What are the functions of music in society
Topic : Major minor Scale test

The functions of music on my society is that it sets the mood of someone, and the society around us. Music can inspire others to do good things and also bad things. Other than that, music can be used for stress relief, so they can be relaxed and they can live longer as well. Without music the society would be dull and not wonderful

In instrument class we didn't have enough time to practice on our instruments because we have a Major Minor test

Week 1 : April 9-13 2012

Reflection Question : What is the role of music in your life?

The Role of music in my life is to strengthen myself at hard times, and also to be happy when there were happy times. Without music we would be just moody all the time, have no taste of anything, or just be a dull person. 

In Instrument class we practiced about the songs in the music sheetthat were given to us in theory class. The music sheet is full of music notes that we can choose, to play what we wanted to play
