Where do we go from here? Senior recital and honors thesis

Abstract

Program notes outline each work of the recital and include literal translations alongside the original text. I developed the 'Personal Performance Reflection Form' to create a guided practice for vocalists to reflect healthily on their performances. Musicians are taught to strive for progress with every performance, lesson, and interaction with music to remain innovative as artists. Sometimes, this can be misinterpreted by students and lead to perfectionist tendencies which can have negative effects on the mindset and creative process of developing artists. I tested this form by reviewing three of the works from my recital and found it to be difficult but rewarding to creating a positive outlook about my performance.
