Monday, August 10 2009, we started our lesson in Melville SHS. We were very happy to start the lesson in Melville SHS. Winnie, Natasha, and me studied together in many classes. We found that a lot of differences in Australia if we compare to the process of learning and teaching in Indonesia.
Melville SHS is a unique school. We found that students here have a lot of practice than the theory and Melville SHS just has 5 periods. When we came to Indonesian class , we saw a lot of poster tell about Indonesia. First,we started the Indonesian subject with introduction. The Indonesian teachers were Pak Bobby and Ibu Loughlin That was a cool experience when the other students introduced themselves.Secondly, we saw the pictures that told about Bali, that was a good picture but, once more, why there are no pictures tell about Surabaya. That,s a big problem.
Anyway, that was a great experience to learn Indonesian with the students from Melville SHS who studied Indonesian.. Australia students want to learn about Indonesia. Why not??

Differences in Music Appreciation
On the 5th of August 2009, I had a chance to practice with Melville's school band. It started after school and it was a really enjoyable experience. We played only 3 songs because they will perform next week with those songs for a concert/competition.
The thing that I learnt was how music is appreciated so well that a lot of students can play the musical instruments very well. There are just a few schools in Indonesia that still appreciate music this much. They only teach students music in primary school as an additional subject to learn and they don't even know that a lot of students are waiting for their talents to be discovered. The high school is the same and maybe worse.
The thing that I saw was actually we are not worse than they are. The composisition they played wasn't that difficult. I think the difficulty is the same as I usually play in my school orchestra, the Petra Youth Orchestra and actually I'm just learning to play my flute (the instrument that I played right now) for 1 year so I'm just an amateur. So let music heal your soul. We can do better if we're trying hard to accomplish it.
