Self+Reflection


 * Did you change your topic during this process? yes my topic changed half way through the semester. After midterms i decided to swithc from bass to piano to get more theory into my playing because bass was all tab and no note reading.


 * Were you able to find information on your topic that was helpful to your understanding of the subject? For piano, yes which is why i switched. Bass didn't have anything really it was all tab and thats great for later when i want to play songs but i wanted to play music and read it and understand what i'm seeing instead of just understanding tabs.

i did stretch my understanding of how to read notes and play what i was reading. For bass i relied on what i knew about tabs and how to play those.
 * Were you able to stretch yourself to learn more on the topic or did you find that you relied only on what you already knew on the topic? Be specific.

My knowledge of theory has grown the most, more than my skill because i still have trouble playing even though i can read and understand it.
 * In what way have you grown intellectually as a result of this project?

I would probably start with researching music and how to read it before jumping into an instrument again.
 * How would you approach the process differently if you had another opportunity to learn in this manner?


 * What was the greatest benefit of your learning experience? I have more passion for music now because i know that i will strive to play my bass and stick with piano because i know more than i had before and i will use it.
