Arts (music)
In music class we spent most of the quarter listening to music and analyse them in musical terms, learning advance music theory, and writing journals for every Monday. I learned a lot of new things from music theory since Ms Holli taught us a lot of advance theory. Though there is one project where we research about Indonesian music composer. We research about our chosen composer's life and we also choose one of the song the composer make to analyse it and transcript the song. Transcript in music is where we listen to the song without any knowledge what kind of music element they use. We should figure it out what music elements is used based on our perspective. Below is the presentation form in words of the project this quarter

Reflection
I'm satisfied with my score even though its not perfect. This project is hard especially transcribing because is the first time for me and using advance music elements its quite challenging so I'm proud that I can achieve high enough for this project. To improve I should pay more attention at the criteria. Because I didn't pay attention at requirement of using certain numbers of music element that causes not getting a higher achievement. I can actually get higher, but missing this one requirement give a lot of impact to my score. So next time I should pay more attention to the criteria while working
Intercultural Awareness
This project itself taught me about cultures of different Indonesian music composer. Since my friends also shared their chosen Indonesian music composer that gives me knowledge that Indonesia music composer have different perspective and expression to present Indonesia culture through their music.
