Throughout the year, I learned to effectively manipulate the volume and intensity of my instrument, adding depth and emotion to my performance. As the course progressed, I have demonstrated significant growth in my ability to enhance dynamics. I have developed a keen awareness of when to pay softly (especially when playing the song with the choir members) and when to increase intensity. Dynamics allow me to convey a wide range emotions and musical intentions. By varying the volume and intensity of our playing, I can evoke different moods, from gentle and delicate to powerful and intense, creating a more engaging and expressive performance. Practicing from pianissimo to fortissimo as a band was not easy at first, but the cohesive sound we now produce indicates the individual’s growth in dynamic range compared to their previous abilities. In addition, my ability to actively listen to other students has developed significantly as well. Initially, I was primarily focused on my own playing, but as I absorbed the feedback from my peers, I became more attuned to the intricacies of the music being created collectively. The whole tone practice has helped me to develop my sense of tuning. By playing whole tones together in the band, I can improve my ability to match pitch and create a unified, balanced sound. Accordingly, I believe that an individual’s listening skill has not only enhanced each individual’s performance but has also fostered a stronger sense of unity within the band. Therefore, the year-end concert served as a powerful showcase, highlighting both the personal growth and the remarkable development of the band as a whole. The concert was a moment of pride and fulfillment. It not only demonstrated the individual progress made in technique, musicality, and dynamics, but also showcased the collective growth in unity and cohesion.
