Recommended: thesis about improvisation

This semester was extremely enjoyable, beneficial, and memorable, due in part to the new knowledge and experiences I have come upon and with the fact that this is my last semester. I can state with a great amount of confidence that I have grown mentally and artistically, maybe not at the rate I hoped for but enough to be noticeable. Though there have been improvements in different aspects of my playing, the focus this semester seemed to have fallen on my tone and developing a clearer mental image of what I want to sound like. This semester was challenging in terms of trying to fit in everything I had to accomplish, but thanks to this I was able to economize my practice regiment. There some weeks this semester when I was not able to complete all my hours of practice and instead had to deal with a few hours. Within these smaller …show more content…

The beginning of this semester saw improvement when compared to previous semesters, however things began to revert back to old ways in my last in-class performance. The reasons as to why this occurred are still not as clear, but some ideas I am having involve a possible manifestation of nerves. In terms of trying to control my nerves, nothing has improved except that I am more aware of them and subsequently a bit more aware of my physical movements. In these last couple of performances, the Thursday and jury performances, I became a bit more aware of where I was physically placing myself and was able to control my movements while still maintaining my focus on the music. Another theory I have relates to my wardrobe, I am serious when I state that the days I felt good wearing what I was, I then executed a performance I thought was pleasant and enjoyable. For this, I will just have to continue performing as much as I can but now also treat them as area for experimentation, in which I can mix different attributes and witness the

  • Reflective Reflection

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing Procedures

    So far this year, I felt pretty satisfied with my progress this semester. I feel like I am slowly adapting to the new way papers and assignments are handled. All my college work depends solely on me now. No one is going to baby me anymore and whether I succeed or fail depends on how much effort I put into something. For the first time in my life I wrote a paper. Not just a five paragraph essay but actual pages, which is extremely challenging. It’s also been my first time studying for five hours straight so I can pass an actual test. I didn’t know I possessed this level of dedication, it’s probably because it isn’t free.

Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.

We gathered together in support of one another when someone's kid broke their arm, family members were taken suddenly in an auto accident, divorce ended a marriage, illness prevented class attendance, babies were born and weddings went on. We were able to balance family, school and work commitments by simply juggling our days and supporting one another.

    This semester I was able to flourish as a writer due to essays given in class. I am now better able to analyze prompts and to communicate my ideas better on paper. Although my writing has drastically improved, it has not always been that way. As evident through past essays, my writing was poorly structured and contained spelling errors. Also through practice this semester I was better able to write a concrete thesis statement, something I was puzzled with in my previous English courses. Now I am more confident in my writing, but I still believe that there are certain areas in my writing that could use some improvement. During this semester I have been able to look at my previous essay and see the progress that I have made.

  • My Writing Experience: My First Year At Michigan State University

    My first semester at Michigan State University was filled with many challenges that have made me a better student. It tested my ability to work under pressure, as well as encouraging me to properly plan out a healthy work schedule. Most importantly, it put the responsibility solely on my shoulders. Not only did this require me to stay on top of my work, but it encouraged me to find value in the work I was doing. All of this allowed me to look back at the semester and see drastic changes in my abilities. This was especially noticeable in my writing course, a subject that I have struggled with my whole life. Throughout the semester, with the proper resources, I was becoming an experienced writer, and learned many skills that I struggled with in the past.

    As a second language learner, English is the one of the most difficult subject for me to learn. As a young girl, I was taught the phonics and the alphabet. As each year passed, I learned to put those letters together to make words, sentences, and finally paragraphs into essays. My English increases every year, and each year my English grows without understanding. When I arrived in English 908, my whole new perspective changed. I realized there is more to writing than just putting words on the paper. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were unattainable. This English 908 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and the ways of thinking in writing.

    My life pictorial was really detailed in terms of trying to make the audience understand where I was coming from which made me feel confident that they would enjoy viewing the slideshow presentation. It also made me feel happy to share accomplishments that made me who I am today. I felt a bit overwhelmed with my decision to what I presented because I did not present anything with a tragic event because I felt that it was inappropriate from my perspective. Everyone presented something emotionally hard to process where as my presentation was more of the happy ending and a bit of relief to listen to so everyone would have a chance to settle down their emotions which made me feel at ease to be the relief. I chose to present events in my life that were impactful, like losing 30 pounds. This was something that positively influenced group member but I made it personal by showing my before and after’s which was extremely hard to do. I did feel vulnerable because I was not confident

  • Sense Of Self Essay

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    I would say my greatest change this semester stood as my personal confidence and willingness to try new things. Prior to this semester, I stood fearful of making mistakes in front of others, assuming that is meant that I would not make a “good” nurse. Through this semester, I learned that it is these little learning mistakes that help nursing students grow, as we are not expected to be fully developed from the start. This is a learning environment, where mistakes are meant to be made, as they teach valuable lessons to prevent future errors from occurring. It stands better to ask for assistance when unsure of a task or a reasoning behind an intervention than to simply perform the task, as this does not effectively promote quality nursing care. My professional identity developed through my ability to perceive myself as a future nurse, recognize my limitations and scope of practice, and utilize my knowledge and skills to provide effective patient care. I am no longer afraid to put myself into unknown situations, as these present as the greatest learning
