TPOL!




In this WEX writing I feel like it shows how much I've improved on my writing. In most of my WEX writings, I try to think about what the writer would like. Something mysterious, something comical, something interesting, and I try to throw it into my writing. Perspective is really important because nobody thinks the exact same way. So we must put ourselves in other people's shoes. I once wasn't thinking about how someone else might think of something and I ended up hurting their feelings. Right then I told myself I need to start putting myself in other people's shoes.

Evelyn Glennie

What will you remember about her performance?
-What I will remember about her performance is that she played the music SO well and she couldn't even hear it through her ears herself. I think she made everybody, including me, realize that you don't just need ears to listen to music.


Describe what it felt like listening to her play. What factors helped create this moment?
-She really got into the music when she was playing the Marimba and the drums. When she first started playing, she was just hitting a couple of notes, and then she started playing actual music later on and it sounded perfect and I could feel it throughout my body.


What elements of her performance influenced what the audience heard?
-When she played the Marimba, I really felt the music through my whole body and not just my ears. I could definitely feel the vibrations through out my head, stomache, arms, and legs. I never would have realized that until she played for us.


What did she mean by, "Each person experiences music in their own way"?
-Everyone has their different tempo and beat that they prefer. I personally like fast, upbeat music. We all feel different things when we listen to the same music. And she wasn't trying to make us all feel the same thing.

Goals

Mysics

Goals: I want to try to understand what we're learning instead of giving up right away. Another goal is I want to turn in all of my work on time.

First step to completing goals: Raise my hand in class and questions/for help. And I need to stop procrastinating with all of my work.
