2. Now you will analyze how you improved upon your strengths and
weaknesses based on your scores for each category, and then set
specific goals for this summer.
A. Strengths: Choose two of the categories in which you scored the

highest and explain how you improved or developed a new

strength that you did not have before. Do not simply repeat the
wording from the rubric. Be specific!

1. I am not great at it but I do think that I have improved in my

sight reading over the semester.
2. After practicing a piece of music I am very good at accurately
playing the notes`
B. Areas in need of Improvement: Based on your scores in each

category, now identify areas in which you need to improve upon.

Explain in detail how you will work to improve in these areas over
the summer. Be extremely specific.
1. I think that I could get better at tuning and recognizing when I
am playing a note wrong in a scale
2. Sometimes when I am tired I do not have good posture as I
play
3. I could work on my tone and playing with more confidence
3. Write a reflection based on how you have progressed from the
beginning of the semester until now. Explain what you would do

differently. How would you change or increase your practice habits?

Be very specific and detailed. At least 1-page typed & double spaced.

Since I had not been playing my violin over a year before I started the

semester I did not start out as good as I had been back in the eighth grade when I

had been playing and practicing before

But I did try to work very hard to catch

up to my former glory which I think that I had reached and then keep

improving still past that But as the semester went on, as work from other classes

increased I did get a bit tired after school and did not practice as much

I should

not have interrupted these practice habits and should have continued improving

my efforts

.
,

I want to fix this and to do that over the summer I will continue to
practice playing the violin on vacation (I am going to Hawaii this summer) even

if it may be hard to find the time

playing often

I will try to improve by gaining the habit of

I will also try to improve my sight reading my playing many

unfamiliar songs of different genres
