Not a focus of this lesson.
Ideal/Target – Students are creating sound recordings of their own playing (which they have never done before). Working in groups and then performing in front of the class while recording is a step outside of their comfort zone. The digital recording is concrete evidence of their work. Again, students are looking far into the future and analyzing the skills needed to become a professional musician. Most students have a hard time looking ahead to the next concert, let alone 15-20 years into the future.
