March Monthly Reflection8th Grade Project: Learning the Flute
Mentor Collaboration
• Like last month, I was only able to meet with my mentor one time.
• During our meeting, we chose a song for me to play for the final part of this project.
• The song we chose is in the book I was working out of, and it is called Serenade.
• I also was told that I was improving on my higher range and tone.
• I wasn’t assigned any new pages because I needed to spend most of my time practicing the final song I will play.
What I Learned
• This month, I learned how to play 16th notes, which are played very fast.
• I also learned how to move my mouth to make my tone more even and clear.
• In my method books, I learned two pages and one duet.
• In addition to these things, I also began to learn part of the song that I am playing at the end of this project.
• Since I am trying to learn all of the Major scales, I learned the A Major, G# Major, and Eb Major scales.
The song I am playing for my final project.
Next Month
• Next month, I plan to learn the remaining four major scales.
• I also want to continue to improve my range and tone on the flute.
• Although I have other things I want to work on, my main focus next month will be on my final song.
• Because I only meant with my mentor once this month, I want to meet with him more that once.
• My main goal next month, is to learn and record my final song, I want that to be my main focus for next month.
