Reflection of Music #1 Term2

On October 6th, we were distributed the homework for making our own composition from Mr. Hery, our music thoery teacher. The composition that we were making is the composition for the solo performance. When we had to make our own composition, we need to know how the melody should be arranged to attract attention of audience and for a good song everyone. So that, we have learned the traditional song called Gundul-Gundul Pacul-cul.

When i have learned this kind of theories, i encountered many problems. First of all, i didn't have any idea how to make my own composition by hand. Before, i have played my instrument, cello, with the melody that already made by some composers. However, at this time, it is highly different. I need to compose and perform myself as well. When i started to compose, the idea box was blank at all, and i want to give up also. However, from learning some traditional western song which was instructed by Mr.Hery is very helpful for me to complete it. Becasue i have some kind of inspiration and idea from the song as well as the melody from the song could be used in my song with different ways. The second problem is learning traditional song. The pronounciation and the rythm was not familiar with me. However, my problem was solved with my practice and help from my friends and teachers.

Furthermore, there are some parts that i want to change for the next time if i have a chance to challenge. Learning the western song is not really satisfied with me because i couldn't concentrate in two parts ; rythm and pronounciation. So that, i will try to remember and memorize the lyric and have no problem in pronounciation part.
