Today, I decided to stay with the piano as my instrument of choice, because I like the piano better than the others that were offered. I also listened to the auditions of my classmates as they tried out for the guitar position, and then did a little of my classwork. Next, I'm going to go to my instrument specific class and get ready for the next lesson.

Today, we finished learning about scales, major and minor chords, and learned about what we have to do for assessments. We did it through homework and class discussion. After that, we talked about the presentation for singing and music genres, and then discussed about the criteria for grading. Next, I will make a blogspot account and choose a song for the music assessment.

Today, the first thing we did was a short quiz about the scales. Second was singing a little part of 'Always on my Mind' and 'Heal the World' to practice for the assessment later. We listened to the songs for a little bit, and then tried singing. Later, I plan to look for a few songs because I don't really like either of the two. I already have one or two in mind, but I'll have to look for the instrumentals.
For Instrument class, I wrote down all the scales for the major, and then played the scales. Next, I'll try the contra scales for all the majors from C-B, and then I'll bring one of my piano books from home.

Today, I did a practice for the singing assessment. I was very nervous and I could tell that I was trembling a lot while I was singing. I also messed up some parts of the song, so I now know which parts I have to watch out for when I sing tomorrow.

Today, I finished my singing assessment after a little practicing. I think I did okay, but I was still nervous when I started. I think the practicing helped, so it's fine. I still stumbled over a few parts of the song, though.

Today, I listened to my classmates finish their singing assessments, and got the details for the genre research. I plan to do a bit of research today, and then bring some of it tomorrow. I also need to practice the scales more, especially F and B.
