2. Now you will analyze your strengths and weaknesses based on your scores
for each category, and then set specific goals for improvement.
A. Strengths:

Choose one of the categories in which you scored the

highest and explain at least three reasons why your score is high in
this category. Do not simply repeat the wording from the rubric. Be
specific!

1.

I put threes in almost every category because I know Im a good

player but say if one day you asked me to play a solo in front of the
class I know I wouldnt be to that point. I can sight read but not as fast
as others I wanna learn to do that before the semesters out so Im
gonna try to ask Cameron could he help me also in my rhythmic and
accuracy .its good but not good enough for me . I can work on the
other things when come in morning I will try to be early. I think
Cameron will be able to help me a lot because he good in transitioning
and the best at sight reading.
B. Areas in need of Improvement:

Based on your scores in each

category, now identify two areas in which you need to improve.
Explain three reasons why you received a low score. Do not simply
repeat the wording from the rubric. Be specific!
1. Sight reading and rhythmic and pitch accuracy. When sight reading I
cant really catch on to the rhythm that quickly and so I play a little
quiet when I know I can play much louder. Tomorrow I will meet up
with Lindsey to see if she can coach me in those to areas.

2. my pitch I think I have that its just that some of the music you
have to play scales and transition a lot and for me thats kind a
difficult right know because Im gonna be honest when transiting
sometimes I dont know where to put my fingers.
3. I will ALSO SEE if Lindsey will be willing to help me with those
things.
3. Based on the results above, choose two areas that you need to improve in.
Set specific and realistic goals that will help you improve in the two areas
that you selected. Set goals that you can achieve within the next two
months.
Then tell exactly what you will do to achieve each goal.
Remember, there is ALWAYS room for improvement!
I wanna learn how to transition fast. And I think that Cameron would be
able to help me a lot in the mornings for the next two weesks.
I also wanna learn how to keep the rhythm with wondering off ahead or be two
measures behind. I think Lindsey could help me with that in the mornings to.
