L: I Garrett Cruz affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of workI have practiced playing guitar and learning new techniques to broaden my teaching capabilities as well as taken lessons to better understand my own playing. As of recently I have also been working on a song to teach for my art project.
I: I have practiced and taken lessons for 30 hrs and have noticed my playing getting better. And through the lessons I am able to judge myself and make corrections when I mess up or struggle with something. As for writing the song I feel that I've put in a fair amount of work into it and have put even more work into teaching it.
A: Practice for me helps me get better at what I know and with new techniques or songs I learn. So by getting better it makes my teaching easier because I don't have to work so hard on trying to play something correctly because it's become less of an issue but rather I can focus more on my students playing it and progressing. Taking lessons has certainly helped because I can dissect what my mistakes are and can fix them. I can apply this technique to my students so they can do this with their playing when I'm not there. And writing the song helps because it allows me to judge both my playing/songwriting and my ability to teach it.
Hi Garrett,
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was to include a calendar with a log of your hours, evidence of your work and a LIA statement. I see the LIA, but I don't see the calendar or evidence of 30 hours of work (like a listing of all the titles you practiced, a video of you performing. I'm going to use the performances I heard in class as evidence, but I didn't really witness continued improvement.
Wait, I found a practice log. The hours are now documented.
