Core Competency Self-Assignment

Collaborating

  1. I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by…
  • We mostly worked together to make a complete idea and instead of minimally talking and simply finishing the work, we actually bounced ideas off of each other and making a key that was somewhat easy to read and made Latin names that are similar to each other if they were close to each other

Musical Performance Reflection

Fall Performance

Curricular Competencies Reflection

During the year, I have learned how to play the alto saxophone, and played through multiple performances. During the Fall Performance I had basic knowledge of how to play properly, not being able to connect the notes together. As of now, I am able to play most notes in most songs, making minimal mistakes. With help from my fellow saxophones, I was able to hear them play and evolve through that. Improvements can always be made, especially for a first-year saxophone player like me. For example, I cannot hit very low notes first try all the time, and my breath control can be improved also. I plan to continue going on with music but mainly with tenor sax or another form of brass instrument.
