1. I choose guitar as elective music class, because to improve my guitar lesson and study more inside about guitar. Improve my guitar skills.I could study more at home or at school. I could practice some guitar’s song to improve my guitar skill. I could play some songs which were given Pak Imada for introduction. To play this song with pointer finger and middle finger. The first day we started Guitar class, we learned the basic skill of Guitar.

I have played new songs which is “I play 5 notes” and exercise 4 since I passed a song “Si Semut”. Before I advanced to the new song, we need to record our last exercise that we passed through video. Because my last exercise was “Si Semut”, I recorded my playing skills with video. I did it well. We also have a test. Teacher gave the exercise. I made some mistakes, but I keep moving on until the exercise finish.
“I play 5 notes” was harder than “Si Semut” because it required 8th notes. It was hard for me to played 8th notes because I need to play 2 beat in 1 beat. But, since I practiced a lot in this song, I could pass this song. But, this song was not the only challenge for me. Exercise 4 was harder than “I play 5 notes”. It required focus and 8th notes. There were a lot of 8th notes in this exercise, and that is why I need a lot of focus in this song. But, since I practiced a lot in this exercise, I could pass this exercise. Since I passed this exercise, I advanced to the next exercise that required 5 notes, and it was hard. I passed “I play 5 notes” song easily because I could understand 8th notes. And now, I’m in level A4 exercise 1. It was hard for me because there are notes added such as B, A, and G. I need some more practice in the song. The song is “ Little Bird”. I haven’t passed the exercise, but I will keep practicing until I could pass the exercise. I could learn the song at home.

Evaluation:
Our last assignment in guitar (The last assignment in quarter 2) was a test. Pak Imada gave the evaluation test paper. Every person had different level to play the evaluation test. I got level 4 to play the song that is given. It was hard because my level is the highest that others. The hardest part to play the song is to play half note. My result is not good enough but I am proud because it tried my best. I rate my score from 1-100 and it would be 65.
