Summary

In this project me and my group made a little song, most of our time making the song was really learning how to play the instruments.

21st Century Skills

I had to really be a leader in the scenario, I had to teach a few people how to play instruments and come up with a song in about 3 weeks. It’s hard to convince someone to play an instrument when they just want to give up. Eventually later in life the leadership skills that I learned can prove to be helpful later in life.

Reactions to Final Version

The judges were very impressed with the fact that no one in our group knew how to really play their instruments. Most of the feedback was on needing more practice or something different and new that stands out above the rest. Our song wasn’t deemed the most interesting but definitely impressively put together.

Evaluation of Final Version

Our final song for being put together was actually really good. I got my band to practically stay in time the entire time which is a really difficult feat to do when you pick up an instrument for the first time. Our song was lacking much variation in the separate parts, there is no real indication of different parts or any dynamic changes.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned how to lead a group, I had problems getting the band interested in what they were performing and practicing. I had learn that you can’t just hand everyone the tools to get better and expect them to do it, sometimes people need to find their own motivation to do things and you can force someone to do something they don’t want to do.
