Learning to play an instrument seriously in life is very important.Which is the reason i have selected to learn and play drums as a part of my creativity strand.I do this in schools ,as a slot of AS which will be a long term activity till 12 grade second term.I play the beats i learned in previous grades to master it and simultaneously learn new ones with the help of my sir.I try to improve each class and get better with the works.My aim is to learn as much beats as possible with good melody and develop my skills to help in future not only in terms of playing but also other aspects.

Learning Outcomes achieved:

• LO1 -Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

I identified my strengths and weaknesses in each class so that i can work upon it .I practice my strengths even at home and take help of sir to work on my weaknesses ,I take his guidance to adapt better to the beats.I take my sir’s review to confirm or aware myself that i am playing good and have learned it throughout the time or i need to work more.This is how i validate whether i have worked upon my weakness or not.By doing so i developed many skills like being reflective.

• LO2 -Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

My challenge was to learn fast and learn beats for longer period of time.but sometimes i wasn’t able to do so.Being a slow learner ,this turned out to be a challenge for me and adapt faster.which was the reason i used to forget various stuff and had to take assistance of my sir again and again to remember it back.To overcome this challenge ,i started noting down the daily learning in a book so that i can even help myself at home and get prepared for the next class to boost up my learning.By taking up this challenge help me develop my perseverance skills and feel really responsible for handling my problems.This skill of problem solving and perseverance could definitely help me in future for any business i do or if it is any curriculum related assignments.

• LO4 -Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

The commitment whcih was required this activity of creativity strand was to stay regular with my classes and practice at home.Also to get prepared for the class by the notes made.I think commitment in this case was very important otherwise it is just impossible to achieve my aim and accomplish my vision.Perseverance was also very much required as firstly it was quite difficult for be but i stayed focused and came up with an idea to solve the problem.and it was not easy to commit as sometimes i may not be able to talk out some time for practicing drums ,Though i managed enough.

I developed my inquirer skills by working collaboratively and bringing up new strategies to improve my learning and also i developed skill of  being principled as i took up responsibility of my tasks and showed fairness with my friends by giving them equal opportunity to play as well due to limited space. Achieved success as i was able to develop skills and still in process to learn better gradually by assistance of my sir.I learned to focused and be perseverant though you have any difficult times.If i did this same activity again i would give myself more time to practice with sir.The skills i learned ,i would like to apply it to my future works and utilize it as much as possible.
