End of Semester Reflection


What I learn using the creative cycle is that I need to do my best to perform, and make sure everything needs to go the way it is. I need to plan it far before it will happen and plan it so that it can be the best.


I feel really good about the performance. I am happy that most of my classmates thought it was good and liked it. I am also happy because the performance turned out pretty good even though there are some 'errors'. I had a lot of fun doing it because we all were having fun and also performing although during our practices, we were having more fun than we did on stage (because we were all stiff).

One thing I have improved is my performing skills. I learn how to perform better.

There aren't anything that I feel I am really good at, but I feel really good when I was playing the Kolintang for one of the songs we performed 'Superstition'.

I need to improve on my singing skills. I am not really that good at singing and I don't feel confident when I am performing so that only makes me lower my voice a little but there are some parts in the performance where I made my voice higher.

The thing that needs to be improved in the performance is probably the singing because we can't hear it very well but other than that it is good.

Everyone worked very well during the performance. They did their best.

The choice of the instruments are very effective and the thing that makes the performance better was the instruments.

I can hear all parts but some of them I cannot.

Something I really enjoyed during the performance was the kolintang part in Superstition.

Something I found difficult in the Creative Cycle was the planning because we took more time planning rather than preparing.

If I could do it all over again, I would change the songs because although I enjoy all the songs, I would like if the year of the songs are from this century.

I will miss Ibu Megan!!!

My Top 5 Ideas

1.Acapella


2.Parody

3.Going forward to the past

4. Musical Story

5.Sister Act



I like the idea of acapella because I thought that it would be cool if we succeed in performing acapella because it's really hard doing it. I like the idea of parody because I think that it would be funny to do one and it's gonna be entertaining to the audience. I think it would be interesting to have to perform music and changing the years as it goes on. It's nice to have a musical story every now and then because if it is all just performing a song it would get quite boring. And also it would be interesting on performing a story while also singing. One reason why I picked this idea is because I love Sister Act and because it would be cool to recreate it.
