Week 29 - 28.4.10, 29.4.10 &30.4.10
College
In first study, i have managed to complete my two original compositions, 'Scenes of a Nightmare' and 'Memories of China'. Both contain rich harmony and display my abilities on the guitar and my ability to compose. In being an Instrumental Instructor, i may be asked by pupils how to compose original material. I believe that to progress on an instrument, you must be able to look away from sheet music sometimes and just create music.
Although my Rock School did not go ahead, i have collected all of my lesson plans and teaching materials and added them to my Graded Unit folder.
During these two weeks, i have been helping a friend by teaching them the ways of Microsoft Power Point. This has helped my teaching ability as i have not taught to someone my own age before in this one on one style. I felt i handled the situation correctly and now my friend has created a very impressive power point on their own.
I have also updated my day plans to include realistic times for my own free time and college work. Before i was being unrealistic and thinking i could spend a whole weekend doing what i wished! I have learned from this mistake and i now follow a strict but realistic day plan. In being an Instrumental Instructor, i must master the skill of both time keeping and organisation to make my lessons as efficient as possible.
