March 11, 2015 Concert Reflection
What is expected of me as a performer:
1. What do I need to do leading up to the performance in terms of my own practicing?
Whenever we have a concert coming up, it is important to practice the pieces you are playing for the concert; especially the parts that you need more work on.
2. What is my responsibility on stage during a performance?
To be quiet, and remember the rest positions (instrument straight on your lap when conductor is off of podium; instrument on right knee when conductor is on podium).
3. What will I do differently in preparing for the next concert?
I want to practice only the parts that I need more work on, and my stamina. I also want to practice more often, and for short periods of time, rather than not often, and for long periods of time.
What is expected of me as an audience member:
1. What do I need to be doing while someone is performing?
It's important to be quiet, because it shows appreciation for the hard work. Sometimes long concerts can get repetitive, and possibly dull; but it is important to give them our attention.
2. What do I need to do after someone has performed?
Clap (also to show appreciation), but if the piece has multiple movements, then make sure to clap only after all movements. You can use the program to tell how many movements have gone by; or if you are really unsure, then you can wait until the rest of the audience starts clapping.
3. What should I do if people around me are not being good audience members?
Give them the "shhh" sign, so you don't start talking either.
4. What will I do differently as an audience member for next concert?
Make sure to clap at the right time, and clap for longer; because I felt that I didn't do it enough.
I am most proud of... how i played accurately, and made the best sound possible.
