Personal/Social Core Competencies
In guitar, my group being the intermediates, we started off with finger-style on Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, which started us off with a rather difficult, but relatively easy to understand song to play. The second project we did was our own original finger style solo, in the A-minor pentatonic scale It proved us a challenge with managing and writing our own solo with a backing track, playing the right note in rhythm and being able to follow along with sheet music. Our main focus for the group of six people was collaboration on our third project, which was classical sheet music; Ode to Joy by Beethoven, Come Ye Son of Art by Henry Purcell and Lullaby by Johannes Brahms. We then did dup performances, with me and my partner doing Three Little Birds by Bob Marley, and me being a backup singer for another group that did Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. During all of these I learned not only new finger-style techniques, but also how to collaborate, communicate and lastly: sing and play at the same time.
