Grade 9 & 10 Music ensemble: Indonesia Traditional Music

In this video, Mr.Herry gathered us all in the 8th floor to rehearse our two traditional songs after school and we rehearsed it with the grade 9 students and even though we only practiced for one time, I think we did really good even though we weren't that syncronized yet but overall, the music sounded really good.

Angklung Ensemble rehearsal

In this video, we all rehearsed one of the traditional songs which is Suwe Ora Jamu and Janger. This was our first practice and from my perspective, we were able catch up pretty quickly but we were not really syncronized yet. We will practice for our part so that we will be syncronized in the next meeting.

Music relaxation composition practice

In this video, I played only the right hand for my music relaxation composition and I think I played it pretty good because I was able to follow the beat and the articulation. I have made the left hand accompaniment for my composition but I was not able to play it really fluent because I did not practice the left hand part, so I will probably practice with the left hand part before the next meeting starts.

Angklung melody #2

In this video, after a long practice, I finally can play the melody fluently and was able to follow the beat.

Angklung melody

In this video, I played the melody for angklung on the grade 12 graduation day and I think I played it too fast and off beat and I was not able to play it fluently because I kind of stopped in the middle of the song. I think I should play it a little bit more slower so that I can play fluently in the next meeting.

16 bars relaxation composition #2

I practiced again my own composition and added some notes so that it wont sound so dull and i have made some arrangements as well.

16 bars relaxation composition

I practiced my own composition and it was quite strange because the sound of the composition was different than the on I played in school but overall I think I did good and did my best.

Extension chords #2

In this video, I played the extension chords; 9th chord, 11th and the 13th chord and I forgot how Mr.Herry taught us but I know what are the 9th, 11th and the 13th chord in any major scale.

Extension chords

Mr. Herry taught us on how to play the extension chords and I couldn't seem to play it because at first it was really hard for me to understand and it will take sometime to understand about it. But now this is the result. I forgot how to do it so this is just a video of me playing the extension chords; 9th chord, 11th chord and 13th chord in C Major.

Twelve tone technique #2

In this video I played the twelve tone technique again but this time I added two notes at the back. At first when I started practicing this technique, I still didn't get the idea of the technique because it looks easy when I look at the person playing, but when it seems abit complicated for me to do it. So, I practiced and this is the result and I am quite satisfied about it.

In this video I played the twelve tone technique and I was able to do it slow but with the correct fingering and positions and I was able to follow through.

Practice Creating Melody Based On Chords

In this video, my friends and I created a melody instantly based on certain chord progression written on the whiteboard. At first, when I was playing I couldn't keep up with it because I was not familiar with the chord progression and I made mistakes where the notes that I played did not match with the chord progression. In the next meeting, I will try to improve it by improvising it again at home.
