On the 12th, the 12-bars blues composition performance assessment was held. I have finished the new 12-bars blues composition and I am very satisfied with this new one. Piano went first, as usual. The assessment was held consecutively and was some sort of a medley of all the piano's 12-bars blues composition. I was the fifth to play because I played in the piano and I needed to share the piano with Adeline Kodji, who went first and then we switched. It was fun. Before the assessment, we rehearsed first so that we know how it's going to be and we won't be confused. I think I played wonderfully because this time, I played perfectly and didn't make any mistakes.

Today was supposedly our 12-bars blues composition performance for the assessment. However, the assessment was delayed due to the absence of Mr. Herry. So instead of the assessment, today we had the rehearsals for the 12-bars blues composition performance this Friday. I played well, but I'm still not satisfied of my composition. I think it's too usual and doesn't fit very well, so I have decided to compose a new one for the assessment this Friday. I will also be sure to practise it beforehand so that my performance this time will be perfect unlike the performance last week upon playing All of Me.

Today was our All of Me assessment. As usual, piano went first. So what we needed to do is first, play the melody with both of our hands, and then we play the melody with our right hand and our left hand plays the walking base. For me, I played the song in G and not C because I sang the song too while playing it and my voice cannot reach the high notes in C, so I transposed the piece into G. However, I lack practise and so I didn't play my best during the assessment. But I still think that I did well. Next time, I'll be sure to practise more so that my performance will be perfect.
