Curricular Competencies Reflection:

I demonstrated the ability to play in a group and create an entertaining stage when my friends and I performed Maroon 5’s Lucky Strike at a concert. During this performance, I both played guitar and sang at the same time, which I believe I did well in. A skill that I would like to improve on in the future is my stage presence, as I feel that there were times during our performance where my energy dropped. I feel like I could do more to contribute to an entertaining performance. I want to continue performing with my friends in the future, as the process was very enjoyable and I was satisfied with the end result.

Core Competencies Reflection:

During the process of creating this performance, I exercised my collaboration skills through my role in our group. I acted as the unofficial “leader” of our group and helped during the organization of our practices. When we were first deciding what songs we wanted to perform, we knew that we wanted to choose a Maroon 5 song as we had also performed Maroon 5’s Misery at a previous performance and dubbed ourselves “Maroon 4”. Due to me being the one who was most familiar with Maroon 5 songs, I was able to compile a list of Maroon 5 songs that we could perform and showed them to my group. Through a consensus, we decided on Lucky Strike. While we were practicing, the three of us that were playing instruments worked individually to find out how to play the song in a way that was comfortable for us. I was able to provide assistance and guidance when we were figuring this out, such as working with the pianist for the arrangement of the piano and guitar to make us sound the best we could. Overall, my group work really hard to create a good performance that we could all look back on and smile at, and I’m very proud of what we accomplished. To improve for next time, I would put more of a focus on the emotional side of performance as we were so focused on making it musically perfect that there were times we were reminded to have more energy.
