I was impressed by the players&#8217; delight as they played their instruments. I was envious of their happiness and was eager to have music. I thus started playing the guitar for the CAS activity. I was determined to practice guitar on a daily basis and I started practicing the basic seven chords. My goal was to continue practicing for a month to develop skills and finger exercises and also watch online videos to get some knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO 1- Identify my strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My strengths were observation and listening. I would focus on the melody, chord structure, fingering, and strumming rhythm. Remembering chords was one of my areas of difficulty.  I became more comfortable and flexible with my fingers and palms with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO2- Demonstrated that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, I found that practicing for thirty minutes each day would help me maintain my motivation to keep going throughout the year and avoid getting out of rhythm.  I was not able to manage my time as I had a tight schedule. My academic performance on several instances fell short of this requirement, which prolonged the time it took me to learn a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO4- Show commitment to and perseverance in the CAS experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I struggled to find time, but I was determined to reach my goal, so I played my guitar for at least thirty minutes and this gave me immense joy and relaxation that motivated me to continue my practice. I also used it as my break time between my academic schedule. Sometimes performing a song was really difficult and exhausting, but still, I got a feeling of joy while playing it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1024x692.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6329\" style=\"width:551px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1024x692.png 1024w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-768x519.png 768w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image.png 1309w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-937x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6331\" style=\"width:350px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-937x1024.png 937w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-275x300.png 275w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-768x839.png 768w, https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1.png 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rock &amp; roll, jazz, classical, country, pop, musicals, and rap are among the genres I grew up listening to.
