The Fall Concert

I am proud of my performance in the fall concert, specifically how I kept the tempo in my head. In my old rehearsals I would sometimes forget to count the rests or I would lose it. During this performance I was able to count the rests perfectly and I had the right tempo. I was able to do this because I would look at the conductor frequently.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

I played the sixteenth-notes unexpectedly well, which I used to struggle with a lot. They appeared several times in the music sheet, and I was able to play these notes successfully because I practiced them separately. A skill I would like to improve on would be the triplet notes so they sound more even. I think if I practice them individually then I can also be successful with these notes. I will also go back to playing the piano so my finger techniques can improve. Finally, I plan on continuing to play the flute in the future as a hobby. I would never want to quit the flute because I love my flute and I will find myself visiting music exhibitions.

Core Competencies Reflection

I was able to communicate well with the woodwinds and we collaborated well. An example of this is the first part of “Guardians of the Galaxy” where the triplets are divided amongst us and we have to listen carefully in order to sound decent. My partner and I preformed this nicely because we communicated a lot with each other and we had many experiences where we could work together.
