Performance/Activity

I am proud of my performance on the Guitar Song of Choice test, I chose the song “Rhiannon”. This song requires some fingerstyle skills, because you have to use more than one finger to strum the guitar strings.

Curricular and Core Competencies Reflections

Curricular Reflection: I have improved on my fingerstyle skills, this was shown when I played “Rhiannon” for the Guitar Song of Choice test. I have also improved with my playing speed ,playing songs that I did in my past 2 guitar classes faster than before. Though I have improved in some areas, such as with my fingerstyle skills and speed, I can still improve on top of that. When you play the guitar, you can almost always improve in one area. I need to improve on playing bar cords, riffs, and even on my fingerstyle skills some more. I plan on improving these areas of guitar through consistent practice, and music playing through out my future.

Core Competencies Reflection: I chose the Communication Core Competency, because though I have improved on my playing skills, I have also improved on my group playing/communication skills. Me and my group had to play an “Outsiders Blues” tune, and we did pretty well. We communicated with each other successfully, figuring out our strengths and weaknesses, and put our skills together making an excellent performance. One of the most important key points to success in a group activity, is to listen to your piers.
