Small ensembles performance

Curricular Competencies Reflection

Instrumental and musical skills I showed success was when I was able to play the drums and sing at the same time in the small ensemble’s performance was successful. Being able to play an instrument and sing is challenging but it is not challenging when you play the same beat pattern while singing.

A skill I need to improve on is more on the drums because some drum patterns are above my level of drumming. To improve my drumming skills, I’ll play on some drums in my free time or available time.

My plans with my music are to be in my high school choirs until I graduate high school, use my music skills to become an actor in the future and sing like any other person who enjoys music. I will be joining my high school choirs until I graduate because I love the joy of singing songs; which brings me joy. And I also promised a choir teacher, who used to be a choir teacher, to be in choirs until I graduate. Using my music skills to become an actor will show my capabilities to become an actor. And singing like any other person will have me be in the joy of singing and music will help my emotions.

Core Competencies Reflection

From the small ensemble’s performance, my collaboration experience grew. We all each had our roles in our group and we were able to be in sync and had fixed our problems by practicing more and more. And from the planning, improvements, and arrangements we were able to have a good performance and hearing how we performed had us happy and a bit of, “I messed up” feelings. Our collaboration had improved our strengths and weaknesses and had us closer to one another.
