Taking Action Subsequently to finishing my CD, my perception is that my goal was achieved both successfully and with good level of excellence because now I can share relaxing music with people that have the same needs as I do. I believe that is very important to help people with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) to be able to relax whenever they need to study. As my product accommodates all the specifications in it, it means that it matches my criteria. My Global Context, “Personal and Cultural Expression”, is powerfully reflected in my piano CD since it’s objective is to help people with difficulties in concentrating, as me, to study with seven classical music.

Determination, self-motivation and resilience helped me immensely throughout the Personal Project journey. Additionally, I was also reflective during the whole process. I was constantly evaluating my process journal and report to see if I reached the good standards I wanted. I discovered new strengths and weaknesses about my methods of working that allowed me to work more competently. Additionally, my research skills were greatly developed during the Personal Project- I demonstrated information and media knowledge. I had to locate sources, evaluate them and interpret their data, as well as be able to reference everything according to MLA seventh edition. I had to interact with different types of media (websites, books and interviews) to get the information I needed. I believe, because of my new acquisition and development of skills, I was able to represent all the 10 attributes of the IB Learner Profile, however, the attributes that had more influence in the way I completed my project were definitely the knowledgeable, reflective, communicator, balanced, inquirer and thinker- due to the skills I developed throughout the
For this final project, I listened to Emily Tigges and Greg Dobihal’s presentations on their family’s history and musical roots. Greg’s family has Czechoslovakia (father’s side), German (mom’s side), and Dutch (mom’s side) roots. Located in eastern Europe, Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic and Slovakia, has very distinct genres of music. The most popular, the polka, is a form of Czech folk and dance music that utilizes a wide range of instruments, including accordions, trumpets, clarinets, tuba, and others. He also noted the important and popularity of Czechoslovakian classical music, citing Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” as an example.
This primary author/contributor of the form is the Brownsburg Education Foundation Grant Committee. This is a diverse committee made up of volunteer community members, educators, and business leaders. This committee is also associated with Brownsburg schools. The secondary author is Marie Kirkeiner, who is proposing this project to gain support from the grant. Based on personal knowledge, I know that she is genuine in her purpose because she is an elementary music educator who has led similar projects.
“How We Listen” begins by providing us with a detailed description of Aaron Copland’s background and accomplishments, then moves on to briefly describe his views and ideas that are expressed in the rest of the passage. In the introduction, we are presented with Copland’s theory that divides the activity of listening to music (specifically the classical genre) into three categories; sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. The sensuous plane allows the listener to simply relax, take in, and appreciate the beauty of the music.
My willingness to impact and better the lives of others through communication. The two most vital Learner Profile qualities had to be thinker and open minded. I was a thinker tasked with brainstorming new ideas and innovations, then an open-minded individual by allowing myself to delve into a challenge I have never before faced. Overall, this project was my launching platform to new
Every Sonata gold medal was rewarded with congratulations from my parents and my teacher. What was considered “great” piano playing was how closely one could interpret the sheet music of Rachmonioff or Beethoven. It
Many listeners in this plane hold an individual attitude because the music always seems to play a role in the listener’s life, where as it might reminds them of something or someone. The author talks about how the question of “how close should the intelligent music lover wish to come to pinning a definite meaning” (Copeland, 1939). It becomes personal, going in their mind the true meaning of what they are listening to, yet they are unable to explain it. This helps the listeners to experience different types of feeling.
Beautiful music plays in their head and inspires them. The first patient introduced in the book, Tony Cicoria, described his case of musicophilia as a life-changing event. He had never found music a significant part of his life, but after he was suddenly struck by lightning, he experienced a strong desire to listen to classical music. Soon, he found a way to teach himself to play the piano at the age of forty-two, and a new stage of his life began. He began to compose and perform his pieces, stating that “whenever he sat down at the piano to work on his Chopin, his own music ‘would come and take him over’”.
A learner is comprised of countless diverse skills and abilities. Each learner is unique and has his/ her own distinct way of understanding new material. My personality consists of an intrapersonal, interpersonal, visual learner, who is social, security-oriented, and an introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging human. All these results create who I am as a person and who I am as a learner. Learning Styles Inventories
Final Draft We all have stories and memories tied to songs that have become a part of who are. Remember the violins playing in the background while watching a sad movie or the song that helped you through difficult times or the song you and your friends sang while attending a concert? Whether it’s on the television, the radio, in a movie, in the car, or at a sporting event, music is everywhere. Feeling the rhythm of music brings us so much joy and excitement but playing musical instrument is even more fulfilling because it has many benefits.
Although I still have some down falls and qualities that I need to improve in my life, overall I like the person I have become. I take pride in my accomplishments I have achieved thus far, and I am excited to continue the goals I am currently pursuing. I have surrounded myself and my family with positive relationships, and receive the emotional support needed to continue my journey in life. After completing this project I have come to realize that I am overall content with the person that I am, but I would like to take the information I have learned from this experience and use it to better myself as person even more. I know I can let some of the negative emotions affect my personality such as stress, anxiety, and fear.
Topic: Music Therapy General Purpose: To inform. Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the benefits of music therapy, so that they can have a better quality of life and wellbeing.
Music has been around since the beginning of time. People use it for entertainment, expression, and a form of art. When thinking about classical music (and music in general) the one person that comes to mind is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This paper will go into depth of the cultural significance and meaning of one of Mozart’s most famous pieces, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Mozart’s music was considered to be commercial theatrical and a form of cinematic exploitation, bringing different elements to music that the people have never heard before in the classical era.
However, I have learned a lot about myself. It is important for me to recollect what I have learned and be confident going into the interviews. My goal is to recollect my strengths, my weaknesses and areas of improvements as it will allow me to prepare myself for the placement interviews and give me the confidence to stand out and demonstrate my professional experience. For the placement, the students have to initiate contact with the field instructors to set up appointments for interviews.
You may have felt down, concerned you wouldn’t make it, and then suddenly you gain momentum, sparking your confidence, and carrying you through to finish the project in time.
Personal mastery was one of the most significant insights for me because it has equipped me with the tools necessary for me to grow in the world of work as well as in my own personal life. I need to make sure that I can differentiate between the authentic me and the social me so that I can be taken seriously at work. My syndicate and the people I will be working with at BMW need to know the authentic me because this will have a direct impact on how I show up as a leader and as a team player. My goal is continuously grow myself in the organization so that I can be a leader one day and being the authentic me will help
