Theory: Today we answered a worksheet about Johann Sebastian Bach's life. It was open book so it was easy. There were many questions but the answers were in the text so it was easy to find.
Instrument: Today we practiced the Baroque song Minuet but we also practiced the scales. I need more practice for Minuet.

2/5/12

Theory: Today we had the Baroque written test. It was way easier than I thought it would be like. But it was still kind of hard. It only had 4 questions but each question had to be answered in paragraph form. So that was the thing that made it hard.

Theory: Today we checked the Baroque booklet again. We heard other people's conclusion and introductions. I wasn't called so I didn't read out my introduction and conclusion.
Instrument: Today we practiced the Baroque song "Minuet". Since I havent practiced at home it was pretty difficult for me to play, but i could play it but slowly.
