Music Theory Lesson

Yesterday, I got music theory lesson.

2 weeks ago, teacher said last week will have test on italian terms. I did confirmed with him if it will be from grade 5 only. In the end, last week he gave us test on short score, and transposing. But he reminded us to study as he'll give us the test yesterday. Again, I did confirmed with him if it just from grade 5.

Yesterday, we were given the test but none from grade 5 came out. -.-''' & the teacher asked if the test was difficult. Of course it is. Especially when we memorized only grade 5 terms. ^sigh.

When I told the teacher that he assured us that it would be from grade 5 only, he said that grade 1 to 4 are also part of grade 5. -.-''' *argh*

The youngest in class, Mark, who had been absent for a few weeks don't know about the test. When the teacher went out, Mark started asking around for answers till he and another guy made an agreement that each of them give an answer. LOL

Mark tried asking for more, but I just said I think those are from which grade.

Even though it was a test, I guess it's the first time that all of us kind of chatted. Especially when Mark got his grade 4 exam results. He got 83 out of 100. WOW!!! Usually he was the last in the class for test. He always failed his test, most of the time never complete his homework, don't know what the teacher is talking about, come in late, forget to come, forget to bring his pencil and eraser. Even the teacher always 'suan' him for being late, etc. So the teacher was amazed or I should say we all were amazed that he scored so well!

Well, when the teacher was not around the class, they all talked about the music theory exam, talk about piano score, talk about practical exam, about the Q&A section. As I never taken any exam before, I was listening to all of them.

They asked Mark when he'll take his practical exam and after checking, he realized the exam is on 2 July. He was shocked to see that he had only 2 weeks left till the exam. It was so funny. The guy whom exchange an answer with him also 'suan' him by saying that since he could study the night before for his music theory exam and score so well, he could do that for the piano practical exam. LOL.

When the teacher came in, he always saw that we were chatting and laughing. He was amazed as we were still having out test. He tried to know what we are chatting but too bad... we already finshed what we talk about when he came in. LOL.

The teacher also asked Mark when was his practical exam, and all of us laugh. The guy that 'suan' Mark still continue and tell the teacher that Mark can practice the night before and will still 'score' well. LOL. The teacher almost fainted when he heard this. So funny.

Oh ya. Back to the test. Not only we were given terms from grade 1 to 4. There is also a test on Cadence. I forgot what is Cadence actually. I had to keep thinking and finally try that method and I think it is correct. *Hoping*

Italian Terms that were in that test were:
accelerando - getting faster
cantabile - in a singing style
grazioso - gracefully
molto - more
pesante - heavy
piu - more
scherzando - playful, joking
sforzando - forced, accented
sostenuto - sustained
troppo - too much

I confirmed got 3 wrong. *sad*

If I never take a look at the other terms before going into the class, I would have gotten 4 more wrong.

'molto' was 1 of the terms which I look at but I got it confused with 'moto' which means movement.*sigh*
