Theory Class (How have developments in technology change the way we engage with music?):
Music these days are very popular among the teenagers. This is because music has been a very central point in the culture, which is the internet. Websites like 4shared allows for music to be shared all around the world, in a very easy and simple way. Electronic devices like the ipod also make listening to music and accessing it easier compared to the radio. Technology has allowed for music to be heard by everyone. Today, we had the roles of music in society presentation, my grooup went first, which was Sarah, Jesslyn, Cindy, Anti and me.
Instrument Class:
Today, we only had around 10 minutes time left due to the Roles of Music in society presentation. I only managed to practice the first bar of the song I want to play, which is Autumn Leaves. I played it numerous times and can already memorize the melody. Maybe a little thing I could fix is the positioning of the fourth finger.

Week 2 Reflection
April 17-18
Theory Class (What are the functions of music in society?):
Music can be used as a media of self-expression and to show our deep emotions that is hard to reveal using words. Music can also be used as a form of entertainment, such as in concerts and shows in clubs and cafes. By listening to music, we can also help relax and empty our minds. Other uses can also include teaching kids and helping them by using songs to memorize. Today we had a small group brainstorm session to decide the topics we are going to do.
Instrument Class:
Today I tried playing the song Autumn Leaves, which I decide will be used for my final performance. Mr Sadrakh said that this song should be easy and is nice to listen to using the violin as the instrument, because it is not that long and the notes can flow perfectly using the bow.

Week 1 Reflection
April 10-11
Theory Class (What is the role of music in our life?):
Music is a very important part of my life because it can be used to express some feelings that are otherwise unstated. By listening to it, we can relate deeply to the meaning of the song. We can be inspired and relate ourselves emotionally to the song, such as happiness, sadness and excitement. For the normal activity, today we made the group for the presentation on roles of music in society, also reviewing Major and Minor 7.
Instrument Class:
Today, I picked some songs that I can use for the song assessment of playing a Jazz song. Mr Sadrakh told us that the song Autumn Leaves is easier to play on the violin and it is quite short in length compared to the other songs available. I will probably use that song as my assessment performance. I will also practice at home to test out the difficulty of the song.
