Placement Reflection #3
Placement Reflection #2
Video Reflection #1
In my past I had phenomenal educators and conductors who inspired me to become the musician I am today. I have noticed that their choice of language has always been inspiring, and motivational. They always knew what to say to challenge my ability to grow as a performer and as an educator. In general, the way educators speak to their students ultimately plays a huge role in how the students perceive music and how their attitude can make or break their experience.
Music has always allowed me to open up and truly be myself. Singing gives me more confidence and even though I am very hard on myself, singing allows myself to be more free and vulnerable. Performing gives me so much joy and I am hoping one day I will be able to help others bring joy to them through music as well.
Reflecting on this topic opened my eyes up to appreciate the musical opportunities I have had in my life thus far. Music is the one thing that has helped me get through some really tough times in my life and I am so fortunate that I am able to be expressive with my thoughts because in a class setting it is very hard for me to voice my opinions. A few years ago, one of my best friends passed away and music was one of the main reasons that I was able to get through this difficult time in my life. My whole perspective on music has changed because of it and it made me realize just how powerful of an effect music has on people. It has changed my life and with my new perspective I can approach music in a new light.
