Week 6 Reflection

May 15-16

Theory Class (How is my jazz ensemble group progress?):
My jazz ensemble have already picked our song, which is the girl from Ipanema. We have also managed to play the first bar of the song. We decided that the guitar and piano will have an intro melody, before violin and flute having a few solo parts. My groupmates consist of Sarah and Nico on piano, Cindy and Dio on guitar, Samuel Kevin and Richard on woodwind and me on violin. I still need to practice for the part of my solo, because it will only be me playing. So far, we already played good as a group and we are planning to have a practice this Friday to hear how the song sounds like as a group.

Instrument Class:
In instrument class, we used the time to practice for our Jazz ensemble. I also asked for help on transposing the key on the Ipanema song so that it will be nice to hear and fit with the melody of the violin.
