Fall Concert

Curricular Competencies Reflection

Throughout the fall concert, I have shown my dynamic techniques through the relative softness and loudness of the flute sound. Since dynamics created different intensities throughout the song, it allowed me to convey the mood. I would like to improve on precise breath control by practicing inhalation and exhalation to enhance my tone quality. My plan is to continue engaging in senior concert band during the third and fourth years of high school. I would like to continue playing flute after graduating high school as well.

Core Competencies Reflection

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. I can work with others to achieve a goal.

I was capable of valuing diverse perspectives as a supportive listener, which indicates my growth in communication core competency. I collaborated with other students in band by sharing responsibility and setting achievable goals. We gave feedback to each other to work as a group, which led to the ability to generate and construct new ideas I wouldn’t have been able to come up with on my own. We also solved problems together whenever we faced any challenges or obstacles while preparing for the fall concert.

I can persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior.

I supported my wellbeing by setting achievable goals to improve my overall flute skills. I recorded my flute sound during the practice to monitor and progress in my goals, which allowed me to listen to the piece through the third person point of view. I also attended the class on time (no absence) and regularly brought my instrument. This implies my growth in personal awareness/responsibility core competency.
