Exploring Focus, Communication And Trust In Music By Professor Kitsos-Kang

636 Words3 Pages

Today we first discussed what the definition of an ensemble is. Then Professor Kitsos-Kang addressed that in order for an ensemble to thrive, it must have focus, communication and trust. We discussed what each of these terms mean, identified three people we trust and do not trust, and whether it is easier to give or loose trust. Next we formed pairs and performed an exercise where we made eye contact with our partners and counted up to three, each stating the next number back and forth. We then repeated the exercise, but instead adding a movement when we stated the number one. We repeated it a third time where we replaced saying the number one with just the movement. Afterwards, we formed new pairs and performed an exercise where one person …show more content…

We defined an ensemble as a group of people, or community, that works comfortable and compatibly with each other in order to achieve a common goal. Focus is blocking the extra stimuli or distractions and honing in on a specific task or thing. Communication is a means to give and receive information, both verbally and nonverbally. Trust is the ability to be vulnerable around others and believing that they will support you. We focused on defining trust for ourselves more than the other elements because trust is essential when creating a bond with an ensemble and establishing and atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable and safe. The number game allowed us to utilize both focus and communication. We had to focus on saying the numbers correctly while there were rules to follow and distractions everywhere, and we practiced communication by maintaining eye contact with our partner. The leading and following game demonstrated how actors must take on the roles of both leaders and followers in scene work. Sometimes an actor’s character must take the spotlight and drive the plot, however they cannot be in charge of the scene all the time. An actor must be able to step back and follow others in the scene while being just as equally engaged in the scene. The purpose of the environment game was to emphasize how to establish a

Furthermore, I learned that being patient and thinking things out clearly, would often yield different results. Also, I determined that communication and body language is important and critical for trust, yet, to try and not judge someone from their demeanor and behaviors.

“Authenticity” in music has been a widely debated topic within society. Many argue that authenticity is a necessary component in music, while others believe that it is an imaginary construct that distorts the genre. What is not argued is how “authenticity” can be a necessary component of music while distorting the genre. In this paper, I will compare Bessie Smith to the artist Muddy Waters to assess “authenticity” in the music industry regarding the distortion of genres. Authenticity, to me, is how an artist expresses themselves in their work.

Unit 3.4 Promote enabling play environments Task 1 Types of environment and how they support play One of the different types of environment found in an early years setting is the physical environment, this is what the children see when they walk through the door. The set-up of the room is what motivates the children to look for something that appeals to them and makes them want to explore. The environment needs to be warm and welcoming but inviting, attractive and interesting. This can be achieved by using lots of different colours, materials and textures; by having lots of displays that show the children’s work or displays that are for the parents, offering information and advice. The physical environment should include

A group is two or more interacting and interdependent individuals who come together to achieve specific goals. In this case it is winning a state championship. In this film, we clearly observe 4 stages of group development, Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing.

Mark Haddon’s novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time outlines the struggles individuals with developmental disorders face that can be deemed a societal norm ( i.e. understanding social cues and using figurative language ). Unplanned routines or sudden changes in events can have an impact on the way the individual views the world around them—the novel stars 15-year-old Christopher, who has autism. Mark Haddon hints at this throughout the novel with key techniques like repetition, symbolism and metaphor. Christopher’s way of understanding the world is immediately brought to the reader in the first few chapters of the novel.

In addition, throughout the whole gameplay, players are placed in a situation where they collectively create the co-ownership of knowledge by providing feedback on the moment based on the context/situation unfolded overtime. In particular, players’ interactions in the Judgement process fully capture the collective practice of Playful Assessment in such a way that players are given an opportunity to have both self-assessment and peer-assessment. Doing so enables players to evaluate to what extent players articulate the approach as well as how well they interact with each other in the game context. Such game outcomes or players’ performance are eventually represented as individual players’ expert level (from the Two Summer Agent to the Master Technology Coordinator) as this game play goes. Interestingly enough, according to their expert level, their interaction pattern also changes, largely because they play the game with the new game set-ups based on their expert level (e.g., new card sets).

I always love to read books and watch their movies, because I get to witness the differences that take place. I prefer the books because they have more detail and really let you decide how the characters look and act. Lots of times, the stories are different than the film versions. The short story, “Most Dangerous Game”, is a very good example of this. The film and the movie have lots of things in common, but this paper is about the complete opposite.

In 1965, Bruce Tuckman proposed the “forming–storming–norming–performing” model of group development, of which encompasses the chronological phases necessary and inevitable for a team to grow, problem solve, and perform to its highest capacity (Tuckman, 1965). The first phase, forming, is the initial step in a team’s development that inevitably determines whether or not the team will experience success or failure in their future endeavors. The forming phase, much like its name suggests, encompasses the first instances of a teams meeting where plans regarding their task are discussed and agreed upon. In the “Remember the Titans” video, this stage is depicted by all of the members of the football team coming together for the first time, and eventually meeting their coach. Storming is the second phase in effective team building, and it is also a point in which many disputes between team members can arise.

One of the benefits of Collaborative Learning is the vast difference of skills between all members. This would mean that diversity is an eminent part of Collaborative Learning with each member having specific strengths and weaknesses. This would prove to be a challenge as diversity of skill sets would also mean a diverse set of opinions and insights. In order for the collaborative group to succeed in a task, all members must be willing to accept the insights of the other members.
