Personalized Learning Project: Acoustic Guitar Update #6

As this is my last blog post before my video submission of the song Yellow Bird, I would like to discuss what I have achieved throughout my journey and also relate back to my personal growth action plan before sharing with you all what I have completed since my last blog post. According to my action plan, I have stayed on track throughout my journey and remained organized by achieving small goals each week (as discussed in my blog posts). Since my last blog post, I have spent numerous hours, practicing smooth chord transitions and playing the whole song without referring to my sheet music. I have successfully memorized the song: Yellow Bird. As stated in my blog post last week, I was struggling a bit with tempo and rhythm and I did adapt the sheet music with help from my co-worker. As she is a musical instrument instructor she normally has small concerts (10 people) in her studio for her students to perform what they have been working on. She extended me an invite as she knew I needed to practice in front of an audience, and it was very fun. I was able to learn a lot about a variety of instruments and it was a rewarding experience as I was able to show off what I had learned over a short period of time. It was truly inspiring for me to see as this was open to all ages, there were students from the age of 5 to the age of 85.
