This week we had our first test. First we had a review session in class. I then took that review sheet and went through it point by point and broke it down writing down all of the information on note cards. I studied this as much as possible, in between classes, spare time at work, before i went to bed, when i woke up, etc.
The difficult part for me is that i came into this class unaware of anything that had to do with music besides it sounds pretty. Even though i have very good study skills and feel i have gotten the information down i get very bad test anxiety when i take the test.
Unfortunatly i didn't do very well on this test, however i am planning on getting help from some of my other friends in class in preparing for the next test. Until then i plan on doing the best i can to understand and use the materials we cover in class.
So far i do believe i have learned alot of useful information that i will be able to use in my teachings, i am definetly getting better at playing the recorder, and i don't think i will ever forget what steady beat is! I also really like the format we used for our lesson plan, i think it is one of the most straight forward ones i have used thus far at NIU. I have saved a copy to hopefully use when i start teaching!
