Personal/Social Competency Reflection
In my journey as a choir member, I have found that reflecting on my personal experiences, such as past performances, enhances my well-being, particularly when we are having class time. When facing challenging pieces or demanding rehearsals, I often look back on my personal journey in choir as a source of inspiration and resilience, reminding myself that I have practiced as much as I could and that I have done a concert sucessfully before. I attempt to calm myself down when I am nervous and things do not go smoothly so that I can do my part.
In my journey as a choir member, I have found that reflecting on my personal experiences, such as past performances, enhances my well-being when I calm myself down by reminding myself of my efforts. As a choir member, I consistently take ownership of my vocal goals, learning, and behavior, as seen in my dedication to practice at home. I have put in effort to remember the lyrics and fixed my pose whenever I remembered or was reminded by others.
I tried to listen to everything that I was told about the concert and the songs and remembered them; as seen in class warm-ups when I remembered to point my fingers in “Yonder, Yonder, Yonder, Yon-der” where we sing multiple short verses and change their order. This helped me make less mistakes and naturally sing the right lyrics and hold myself in a proper manner for the concert.
I have also learned to overcome challenges by practicing a lot and not giving up, which made me even more confident in my singing. Whenever I get things wrong or a part I sang is not perfect in practice, I make note of it and make sure I do not forget what I need to do for that part in the future.
