Self-reflection
It is important to self-reflect on the quality and accuracy of your performance skills after every practice session or performance.
When conducting self-reflection, you need ensure that you:
- identify the strengths in a performance
- identify the areas that are less convincing
- identify the technical aspects that need to be developed
- set targets for future performances
During the National 5 course you will have many opportunities to perform, so there will be lots of opportunities to self-reflect, particularly during your practice routine. Other opportunities to conduct self-reflection include:
- during music lessons
- individually with your instrumental teacher
- in class with your peers
- in groups and ensembles, in school and outwith school
- at home as you practice
- in assemblies and/or concerts
