today is the day of my assessment playing "All Of Me". but somehow mr. harry told us that the one hasn't completed their blog were not allowed to take a part in the assessment. so me and some of my friend got to be sent to the library spent nearly 1st session to finish the blog. but then on the 2nd session when everybody did their assessment, me and calista went to see mr. harry wishnu to begin our warm up and practice for the last time. luckily i did a good job but still the nervous won't go away.

today we were asked to submit the 12 bars blues on the paper given. mr. harry checked most of everyone's 12 bars blues and asked us to make a correction of it. i corrected mine at the end of the bar as mr. harry said. then he got pretty mad because somebody haven't colected the booklet until now. afterall, i learned about the blues chord and how it form to become pop, boogie woogie.

today i arrived at class 7 minutes late because i was overslept. when i came mr. harry was explaining and reviewing on the 12 bars blues. he played everyone's 12 bars blues on the keyboard. they sound really nice, i hope mine does. to be frank i had a trouble making it. it was hard to compose a music and try to make it sounds good. but overall everyone did a very good job.

today mr. harry distributed us handout about Johann S. Bach. it contains history, background , and all his personal life. then he told us to memorize it. we were given like 5 minutes then we got this paper like a quiz or something and we have to answer it without looking the handout. it was so difficult because Bach's history was so complicated that it made really hard to understand.
