Blog 22 Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I suppose I am proud of the fact that I put in enough time to be able research a few things that were both new and familiar to me.


(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AP/CR

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AP/CR

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

I was able to explore more about what goes into preparation for a classical music performance.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

I would most likely better prepare myself for my presentation or at least practiced before an audience.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

The senior project I believe will help me find ways to become a better person in the sense that I will be able to be more open minded about alternatives for when it comes to problem solving and thinking.

Done. 

    Interpretive
     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

I suppose the most important thing I gained from this was the ability to think about things differently and also the skills to be a more effective, if not apt learner for cases of having to prepare on very short notice or even preparing a year or so ahead. I also learned some new skills along the way that can help me better prepare classical music for a performance, especially since I have plans to one day perform in an international piano competition. I could also say I gained more self confidence that of what I had, as I have been known to be quite hard on myself as I am a perfectionist for when it comes to being a serious musician.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.
What I have done has helped me answer my EQ because it helped me explore numerous methods of practice, different periods of music (and different genres outside of senior project with fellow musicians in the senior class), and has also given me plenty to research and question aside from everything I already knew or had an idea of.
