Well actually, my part is not all of the Ref, but i just practice it in case my group needs me to play that part. I get the first 8 bars well, but i still need to improve on the tempo of the music because sometimes i got to fast and sometimes i got to slow. So, i need to play more consistently.

This week we practice our song and discuss how to play the song correctly together at the first day of the week and it quite went well. Then, i ask sir Hary, my instrument teacher on how to play the song correctly and i start practicing the song on our own in the second day. I know how to play the song better after i ask sir Hary. There is no quite big improvement though, i can't play more than 8 bars after i practice at the second day, so i need to practice at home so i can play well.
