Graduation High School Recorded Music Program

I also learnt that I fared as a leader where I initiates meetings for the group to discuss on the project. I am also participative, shared responsibilities where I did all assigned task on time and remarkably.

I must react to all the challenges I am faced with. I can fight and show I am ready for the world or I can flee from my responsibilities and amount to less than my potential. My future has left me heavy hearted and indecisive. My fifth step was what lead me to my future goals. Although I have known music would always have a place in my heart, I never saw myself using it as a profession. Mr. Henderson decided to sit with me and talk about all my possibilities and where he sees me in the future. He encouraged me to make my choice based off of what will make me happy and I made my choice. Later that week I applied to Western Carolina. They are known for their prestigious music program and auditioning for their School of Music will be my sixth and final

In addition to the academic setting, I will also have to work with others in the real-world, especially with my aspired occupation in the medical field. Learning to work well in teams will be a significant contributor to my personal academic success at Drexel. At Drexel, I will have to work with my peers in various contexts. Working with other students will teach me to be a team player and learn to deal with other people in unfortunate circumstances. For example, dealing with a peer who does not contribute to their share in a group assignment or fails to communicate. In the academic setting, working with others in study groups can help reinforce and learn content to master the material. Teaching others and reviewing with others can be very

Secondly, I have learned that working with a group is much easier than working by yourself. The way I see it is that if you work alone you have to memorize a lot and messing up is much more embarrassing. However

Personalities that are able to work with a group of people tend to communicate well with others. Collaborating with a group could help one learn to be open-minded and accept new ideas. For example, when trying to find an answer to a logical problem, that may seem complex to only one person, different members of the group may have different solutions. A variety of opinions could also open a discussion so that one can converse with their peers, which will improve the understanding of the given subject. Perceptions of the situation could be different, as well as how the problem is approached.

I would remind my group when there was a deadline, when we were falling behind, and I would do all the things I could that need to be done. I was the one who made the outline for the website, and who set up everything so it was easily accessible for a user of our website (pages, links etc.). My group mates did demonstrate amazing leadership abilities in their own way. Ingrid kept a positive, uplifting attitude throughout the whole project, and Bri kept us realistic about our goals and our final product. This was the first project I’ve done in a really long time, where I felt like the weight of it was mostly on my shoulders. I thought it was a good wakeup call because I’m not a natural born leader, but I was able to utilize the skills that I have in order to keep the project going, and my group on task. My group needed someone to help guide them, so that is what I did.

The “call” to music education is an urge that people receive to take the musical knowledge that they have retained throughout their lives and pass that knowledge on to other people. It is more than an enjoyment of music; it is the wanting of the pleasure and satisfaction that one obtains from widening a person’s understanding of music and making music a part of that person’s life. I was once, and still am, one of those people who acquired an education from teachers who received the “call.” Coming from a very athletic family, from a young age I was placed into every sport imaginable: basketball, volleyball, softball, and even swimming and gymnastics. I was not very good at any of them, so my parents, having seen my eager young self being the loudest singer at my school Christmas concerts, asked if I wanted to join a children’s church choir. I happily accepted, and soon after I began to perform in choirs, musicals, and recitals. I had found my passion, though I did not yet realize that it would soon become my career path. That realization came a little later, when I met my choir teacher, Mrs. Spiri. She taught me everything I know about music, and without having met her, I would not consider myself a musician today. I love music and I love children, and I realized that I wanted to make the same difference in a child that Mrs. Spiri made in me. I know that this path is not the easiest, but I feel that teaching music is what I was meant to do. To

Being an Audio Engineer is something that I want to partake as “My Future Career.” I chose this career, because on a personal level, my interest for music is very deep to the point that it literally runs through my veins. I was raised up in a music oriented family, where everybody in my family is musically talented in some way. I wanted to have a career where I can make my own music, and actually do something that I will enjoy. While doing a career interest inventory, I was able to narrow down and plan ahead of what I want to do in the future, I chose between a professional drummer and Audio Engineer, because I know that I will be able to flourish in both fields. Meanwhile I chose Audio Engineering

I (since I was the leader) led the group as I have done many groups in my management history. I encouraged criticism of each other, even myself, I encouraged brainstorming to discuss the best possible way to plan and complete the assignment, I encouraged all members of the group to apply their opinions and suggestions because we all matter not just one and I applied deadlines for everybody to apply the rule of responsibility. I led the group and I let

-I have worked in multiple extensive group projects with people, some of which was centered around working together to help teach a certain subject to others. I have also partnered up with past co-workers to complete a long term goal where it was important to constantly communicate with them. I am a very people-oriented person and can adapt to different situations and people easily as well as figure out our strengths as individuals and figure out how to use them to our advantage as a team.

Listening to the other ideas instead of just my own, taught me to compromise. This was a way to work well with people and get things done quickly to get the best grade I wanted. In school I have seen students who are timid than most and feel awkward working with people. They work better by viewing things alone allowing them to excel in individual assignments. They display an Intrapersonal Intelligence guiding them to be self-sufficient. They have a greater sense of their self enabling them to utilize that knowledge. Learning your own self could be said to help you work with others but it helps to look from your own feeling and notice others around you. People get farther working with others than always working alone.

Music gives more than just awards and a sense of accomplishment, basic life skills are taught and one in a lifetime experiences are gained. A large portion of my life has been dedicated to the arts, and forever will be. From dancing on stage to singing a capella at a local concert, I have committed myself to it all. Just participating simply is not enough, my strive and competitiveness has pushed me to achieve above and beyond what I thought I was capable. Being co-captain of my school’s dance team, a member of my high school a capella choir, a theater geek, and much more, hasn’t necessarily been my need to compete and win, but rather doing something I love. Combining a true passion and perseverance makes achieving the impossible, possible.

Within the past 4 years, I have grown used to hearing the words, “Why would you want to be a music major?” “You are not going to make if far in that field,” or “Why would you want to waste your life on something so pointless?” And the truth is, none of this ever stopped me from believing I could do it, until I heard those exact words out of my mothers mouth.

The group planning project we participated in stood as one of the most helpful things we were educated on in this course. The fact I was able to form a group that involves children, the population I want to work with in the future, was more than helpful. I wish I was able to have the breakdown we were given for this assignment in previous situations where I was given a task to form a group. Also, the few role playing assignments the class participated was very helpful but a bit nerve racking for me. The unknown of what part we were going to get each time was stressful. What this assignment did do was help me step out of my comfort zone when I was given the part of the director. I have a very subdued personality but this assignment forced me to use a side of my personality that does not come out often to step up and lead a staff.

During our entire presentation, the goal of our group was to get an A plus in the overall grade paper and the mission was to get an A plus in the group assignment as well. With the target set and the objectives well defined we set up the schedule in terms of group meetings and the content division among group members equally. During dividing our content into creative and data analysis, we asked around quickly as to which group members had a high technical or conceptual skills, these group members were in charge of getting the presentation graphics and templates made and rest of us decided the text that had to be gone in each slide. After motivating and communicating loopholes by discussing each group member’s contribution during our group meetings we began compiling stuff together. The biggest
