Senior Project Reflection

1) Positive Statement

I think many things went well during my Senior Project.  The thing that stood out the most in my opinion was my 2hour presentation.  The main reason why this stood out the most is because it was the one component that actually ran smoothly for me.  I didn't procrastinate once, finished my powerpoint early, and even went above the 30min talking time requirement.  I breezed through my presentation without any problems.

2) 2hr Presentation Assessment

I think i deserve a P because i met all the requirements for that grade, i even went over the 30minute limit of talking time.  I had no complications with my powerpoint and all my activities complimented their specific answers well.

3) Senior Project Assessment

I think that i deserve an over all grade of P for my senior project.  The reason why is because i had many good and a few bad components but in the end the effort i put in to my senior project should be a P average.


4) What worked for your Senior Project

Definetily the 2hr presentation, my independent components, and my service learning because i finish all those components efficiently without running into any problems.

5) What didn't work

The components that didn't work for me were the I-Search paper and Science project.

6) The senior project has taught me how to organize a lengthy presentation, and it has also given me the opportunity to increase my piano skills at a rapid pace.  Other than that, the senior project will not help me with my future endeavors because i do not plan to pursue piano as a career but more as a leisure activity.

Service Learning

1)
Literal 

• service learning log
• Mrs. Aurora (626) 854-2091

Interpretive 

• The most important thing i gained from doing my service learning at a music studio would be learning new playing techniques and getting a better understanding of the piano learning process.  Since my service learning involved performing and teaching, i was able to increase my performance ability as well as create my own teaching techniques for beginner pianists.  

Applied

• To have a successful piano performance, one must understand how to effectively use dynamic techniques.  During my service learning, i had to perform for the studio during their recital.  Mrs.  Aurora, my service learning provider, told me that the control flow of dynamics can help me have a "successful" piano performance.
