Goals+and+Planning+Entries

To go for vocal training classes which will help me overcome stage fright.
 * __ Goal : __**

I love listening to music as well as singing along to songs when they play. In general, I love music. I have always wanted to perform on stage but I never had the confidence to really go through with it. In summer, I went for this cultural exchange conference and they taught us that nobody can put you down and that you’re no less than anybody else and they taught us a lot about self-confidence. This really helped me and after the first week of school, my friend, Apeksha and I performed the song ‘My Guardian Angel’ by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. After performing, I was really happy that I finally had the courage to sing in front of a crowd but I still felt that there were a few tweaks needed to be made in my voice in order for me to sing well. I felt that with vocal training classes, my confidence would build up more as personally I would feel that my voice has developed & become better too, which gives me assurance of not messing up while singing in front of an audience. I then chose my personal project topic accordingly. I chose vocal training as my topic because I want to go for classes and get my voice trained so that I can pitch songs with higher notes that my voice can take or songs which have lower notes to pitch than my voice can take so my performances on stage won’t just be exceptional, I want them to be perfect.
 * __ Why? : __**

The IB has 5 areas of interaction that they believe will provide the main focus for developing the connections between the disciplines, so that students will learn to see knowledge as an interrelated, coherent whole. They are : I have chosen Human Ingenuity as the AOI which I will be focusing on as it provides opportunities for students to appreciate and develop in themselves the human capacity to create, transform, enjoy and improve the quality of life. I want to improve the quality of my singing and through this, appreciate how humans have developed ways to train a person's voice and also appreciate the fact that they have come up with so many different ways and different types of technology to record clips and videos and other things that benefit us.

 * __ Plan: __**


 * 1) ** Research on vocal training and the different types of vocal training.


 * First, I have to find out about the different types of vocal training like speech training and singing. I then find out what generally how long it takes for your voice to get trained, not fully, but to a certain extent so that my Personal Project goal will be achieved.


 * 2) ** Fix dates on when I should go for regular vocal training classes.


 * Here, I speak to my supervisor and fix a date on which I have to go for regular classes and these classes are to be recorded and will also be on a CD as a small portion of my product when my PP is done.


 * 3) ** Write reflections and also keep updating my process journal.


 * Everytime I go for a class, I have to update my process journal on what I did that day and also reflect on what I did that day. I will also have to update my wiki so on time so that my supervisor knows that I have done that particular thing on that particular day.


 * 4) ** Organise and present my completed personal project


 * After many classes, finally my voice should be trained and then I will have to go to a professional recording studio and record myself singing one of my favourite songs which I had trouble singing at first and then burn that on a CD and organise all my material and present my personal project.
