Art Study Opportunity for Youth
ACHF Arts Education
I am and have always been a naturally shy and anxious person. This has led to previously mentioned weaknesses in my art, a difficulty expressing myself. I hope to gain improvement in that area, especially through private lessons, but also large ensembles. I also want to gain more technical skills by playing and singing more difficult music. Even though that isn't necessarily a weakness of mine, it's important to me to still keep improving in that area as well. I think in a learning environment, most of that knowledge will come from feedback by a teacher. As a musician and artist, it is a very exciting and happy moment when a teacher tells you that you've done a good job, or that you've improved, or that you sound better than you used to. I think that my improvement will also be more noticeable when I come back home and play with the school band, because I am used to how I sound with them, and I won't be as used to my sound with the band at the camp because I have not played with them before.
