Reflections
Level 1"I will work on practicing more."
"I will work on articulation." "I will work on breathing." "I will work on singing." "I will work on dynamics." "I will work on bringing my instrument home" "I will ask more questions in class." |
Level 2"I will practice my articulation seven days a week."
"I will work on singing by opening my mouth more or looking into a mirror." "I will work on dynamics by working on making my instrument louder and softer. I think that by making my instrument louder or softer, I will be working on dynamics. This is how I will work on my dynamics." |
Level 3" I will work on practicing my articulation/breathing/singing for two-three times a week: half an hour each day."
"I will ask more question in class based on material(s) I do not understand. These can include how to articulate properly, how to sing properly, or the beat structure behind each song." |
Level 4"I will practice on my articulation three times a week, fifteen minutes each time. I will focus on practicing songs that use different articulations such as detatched notes, slurring, and/or staccatos."
"I will practice my rhythms four times a week, for twenty minutes each day. I will use songs that have various rhythms (full of quarter, eighth, sixteenth notes, and dotted rhythms) to help my practice. I will come into class and ask the teacher any questions I may have based on the rhythms I practiced." |
