Performance Evaluation : Music

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, this Friday is our final day of music classes, so this means that we get to perform the pieces that we are learning in our previous classes. After those performances, we had to do a blog evaluation on how we felt with learning music this year and how we felt with our performances. 

① : What have you enjoyed in music this year?

I have enjoyed learning new instruments and I also liked performing.

② : What have you found challenging about music this year?

I found it hard to learn a piece because of the little amount of time we had. 

③ : What did you perform for your final assessment? Who did you perform with? Why did you choose that piece?

I performed a piano piece called Clair De Lune by myself and I chose that piece because it was a song that I have been trying to learn for a few weeks. 

④ : How did you find performing?

I think it was quite fun and it was very enjoyable. 

⑤ : Were you happy with your performance?

Yes, I was happy with my performance, even though I misplaced some notes I think I did satisfactorily. 

⑥ : Any other comments about music 2020?

Music 2020 was entertaining, and I got to learn a lot of useful information, but it was sad that we didn't get more time to polish performance pieces. 

Instrument Evaluation

1. What have you studied in Music this term?
I have studied piano, guitar and ukulele. For the piano, we learned some beginner and advanced songs, which I enjoyed a lot. In guitar, we also had to learn a song and it was very enjoyable for me. For ukulele, we studied an easy song that I liked very much.

2. Which instrument have you enjoyed and why?
I enjoyed learning all of the instruments, but the instrument I liked learning the ost would be the piano. Because I have learned piano before and it was easy for me to learn the chords and how both hand flow together.

3. Which instrument did you find the most challenging and why?
I found the guitar the hardest because my hands couldn't reach the corrects chords properly.

4. Which instrument are you going to focus on for the rest of the term and why? What would you like to achieve?
I am going to do the piano for the rest of the term because I enjoy playing the piano. I would like to finish learning a classical piece.

The Piano

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post! For music, we are nearing the end to our piano/keyboard course, so we will be having an assessment. But before we need to answer some questions about the piano.

1: Where was the Piano invented and by who?
The piano was invented in Italy and by Bartolomeo Cristofori.

2: What did the first Piano look like?


3: What is the difference between a Piano and Keyboard?
The piano is an acoustic instrument and the keyboard is a digital instrument that needs energy.

4: What have you enjoyed about learning the piano/keyboard? What have you found challenging?
Learning new music was a very fun thing to do. I found it challenging to sync my right hand with my left hand.
