wait i suddenly thought of something!!!thanks leian 让我领悟到了一个道理。
FIRSTLY, i admit that it was my fault that i promised you all on a treat
it had been a long time and nobody remembers what i exactly said. even i dun remember anything.
SECONDLY, i said that to encourage you all, to motivate you all, to let you all have a goal to aim for. thats why i promised you all that.
this is like a white promise!?
THIRDLY, like what leian had said, okay, i feel bad saying that but i still have to say.it is kind of hurting for me to say that.we were the one of the ones that taught you all theory and after passing theory, you all actually wanted to treat us.i think it should be the other way round.
but I KNOW it is the promise thingy right and I KNOW you all deserve a reward but thinking deeper, do you all really think that everybody passed?
I KNOW YOU ALL DESERVE A REWARD BUT CAN WE DO SOMETHING EQUALLY FAIR!
we organise a outing and lets go out together nobody treat nobody??
okay???

Theory Notes:
Minor Scales
There are 2 different types of minor key, namely melodic and harmonic.
Harmonic Minor
-The 7th notes is raise by a semitone on both the ascending and descending scale.
e.g. On A minor harmonic, the 7th note, which is a G, becomes G# as it is raised by a semitone.
Melodic Minor
-The 6th and 7th notes is raise by a semitone ONLY on the ascending scale.
e.g. On A minor melodic, the 6th and 7th notes, which are F and G respectively, becomes F# and G# as it is sharpened but on the descending scale, it must be changed back to their original notes, F♮ and G♮ as the sharpening of the 6th and 7th notes only applies on the ascending scale.
