1. How do you feel you have progressed with your solo performance skills this semester?

This semester I feel that I have progressed with my solo performace skills a great amount. I have slowly gained more confidence from doing the performance work shop during class. Performing infront of the class room and getting great feed back makes me feel alot better about myself cause I know that the comments are going to be honest. It also helps having you there because you can always point out what i need to work on weather it is eye contact, or projecting my voice more etc...

2. How will you improve your results in solo performance in Semester 2?

To improve my results in solo performace in Semester 2 I will need to manage my time more productively, and make sure I ask you for help when im not 100% understanding something that we have done in class. I also want to make sure that I make more time to practice at home so I feel more prepared and feel like I know and understand my songs completely before I have to perform them.
I also feel that having Sade in my singing lessons will help me alot to because she gives me feed back and it also gives me that little extra confidence.

3. What aural and theory work do you desperately need help with?

I feel that I desperately need help with identiying intervals. My ear just can't hear them correctly. I aslo need help with melodic transcrition. I find it hard to identify what not is being played by listening to a melody. I also struggle with the harmonic transcription. I manage to get it easier when im doing with you but then when I have to do it alone I cant fingure it out. Also analysing music I struggle with. I need to understand what main elements mean, eg: duration, pitch and texture.

4. What strategies are you going to put in place to ensure you improve across all areas in Semester Two?

Strategies im going to put in place to ensure i improve across all area's is practice mainly. I need to make sure that I set out my time for homework better so I get it all done and know what im doing. Another strategy I should proberly work on is organisation. I need to make sure that I mark everything in my diray and have allo worksheet done by due dates and my folder is neat so I know where everything is when I need to find it.

5. What is your practice goal over the next three weeks.

My practice goal over the next 3 weeks is at least half an hour of practice a night, and if I miss a night i will make sure that i do longer practice the next night.
I hope that I am able to keep up with this goal.
