Listening B: Adagio, Secret Garden

This listening makes me feel sad and chill. The mood of it is dramatic. It reminds me of sad situations.

The beat of it is weaker near the end. All of the piece has the same volume. And the melody is very important, more than other elements. There isn’t intro before the soloist comes in, he or she plays a string instrument. For example, the violin and the viola. And the orchestra accompanies the soloist.

Self-assessment

I think that in the second part of the grade I didn't done much. Perhaps I could did better. The activity that I like most was the feelings. I learnt a lot of words related to different feelings. Also we did in class some posters and activities.  We did a lot of activities related to music, thanksgiving day and black friday. Also about instruments. I learnt a lot of with it. But I had to have better attitude and give the jobs on time.
But not all was bad. I have passed lots of funny times in class with all and doing activities.
