piano+proposal

= Proposal = Understanding that 'you do not know what you do not know,' please fill out this form as specifically as possible. As you engage in your research, feel free to revise the "process" as needed. You will refer to this process each class period. It will guide your learning and will provide the structure to your daily reflections.You may find that your topic may shift as you dive deeper into the process. That is fine, but please be sure to meet with your instructor if you have a major shift in your planning. **Project Title** Write the name of your project. How to play the Piano and read music

**Project Description** This should be a detailed description of what your project will be. What is the problem you are trying to solve? What concept are you going to be researching?  My project will be about the dynamics of how to play the piano and learn to read music. I'm going to be teaching myself how to read and understand music notes, clefs etc..., play scales, and eventually songs. I want to learn from other people and be able to maybe teach others what I learned. I want to be part of that because it's so beautiful. Another, pretty big, part of my project would be learning to read music and understand it all because i can't play piano without understanding what I'm reading.It would help a lot if i learned how to read the music before i start to play it.

**Project Rationale** Why did you choose this particular topic? What will be the ultimate benefit to mastering this concept/topic? How will you expand upon the concept for yourself and others?  i wish to learn piano because it's one of the main ways to learn how to read and play music. A lot of the people that i know who can read and play music, have at one time or another, played piano. If i ever intend on moving on with music, like playing the bass, i want to be able to read the music, shift my hands the right way, and have left and right hand coordination.

**Components for Mastery** What are **all** the aspects of the topic that you will need to explore in order to become a master of the subject of study? Consider historical connections, techniques or skills required, connections to prior learning, etc. //(You may add to this later as you learn more about the topic)// ~ I need to learn how to read music ~learn about scales and how to play them ~ sooner or later, learn actual music

 **Research** Have you found some initial information on your topic?What resources are you planning to use to extend your knowledge of the subject?

Brainstorming Research
 **Outline of Process** //(Critical component of plan) // What will be studied and in what order? How will your record your research and work? __What is the estimated time line for each part of your plan?__

**Acquire resources **

How will you demonstrate your understanding of the concept? How will you use the information? How will you share this with others? i will build a wiki portfolio link to include: audio, images, narrative, tab and websites and youtube.

Passion and determination are building blocks for developing skills in something you have less than perfect skills in. when i'm done i hope to teach others that being <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> self taught can help you in ways that being class taught can't. when you're self taught you learn what you can do and you explore it, challenge yourself, and teach others the way you taught yourself. <span style="color: #453708; display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> in a class (i think) you don't get as much out of it because you're just doing what you're told to do, learning what you're taught. you never really experience something until you've learned it your way. bass time line week 1
