Week 7 Reflection

May 22-23

Theory Class (What do you think of your music jingle?):
I think that the jingle assignment given to us was actually fun and interesting to do. We were also supposed to include a video containing pictures from different parts of Indonesia to show the theme given, which is "Beautiful Indonesia." My jingle was made by me and Dio as a group, I think the jingle sounded really catchy and up beat. It is also different from the other jingles because it contained a more modern pop sound when compared to the other jingles the other groups made. I am quite satisfied too because we managed to use drums in the song, which no other group used.

Instrument Class:
During instrument class, I continued practicing for the jazz ensemble song "Girl from Ipanema". I have a solo part now, which is kind of short, but I still have some trouble timing the beat and sound. I need to follow the rhythm of the piano, which is played by Nico and Sarah. The notes are pretty easy except for the 2nd position finger in D string which I have difficulty in.
