Dear Diary,
Today during my Fundamentals of Pan Arranging (FOPA) class, I was so happy I got my assignment done since Monday and placed it into my folder for safekeeping. It was also a good idea I had to re-use my Accountability statement sheet that I used for my academic course in the first term last year to submit my paragraph. Mr. De Las wanted to know what it was for and Samantha used it too. I had a feeling she would use the sheet but I had this feeling it was right to put one in the assignment too in case the assignment was rejected.
We had to do a short eight-bar steelpan arrangement from a melody that sir provided us along with the chords he wanted us to use. I made sure to write down the things that he wanted in this assignment so that he would have fewer problems with mine and he didn’t. He only showed some little mistakes that I made but told me that I was on the right track. Thank God. I was glad to have an instruction sheet I made from the email he gave us to do the work.
Later that evening, I had a short coursework assessment for Miss Joseph class in “General Music Methods” which she made easy by letting us pick two pieces of paper. One with a letter and one with a number. The number was our turn and the letter would be the task assigned to us. She wrote on the whiteboard what assignment the letter would have been. My Letter was C which was to Teach a melody using a sustained pitch and my number was six.
I was a bit worried that I forgot the words to the short melody from the Practical Ear Training textbook used last semester. This exercise had to be done by memory. When it was my turn I simply went up in front of all my friends, applied the same friendly conversation mention I told myself to do for the last presentation in my “Introduction to Music Learning” course last semester and did it. When I left the front at the end of the song, I took my seat, I sat down and miss said “Thank you, Daryl.” I wondered if I did badly because I felt as if I wasn’t up there as long as I should be. Other students took really long.
When class was done, miss Joseph gave out the results in whispers to us so none of the other students would hear other people’s marks. When I went for mine I had to step away from the Piano and go up hoping I did well. To my surprised ears, she smiled and told me [I got] thirteen [out of fifteen]. I was so glad. I left class to go home for the weekend.
