MY SMART GOAL

My goal is to learn to play one of the wood wind insrument the belong to chinese orchestra. The instrument is Di Zhi. One of the reasons I choose to learn Di Zhi is because I want to learn more Chinise orchestra instrument. At the same time, I had joined the NYP Chinise Orchestra.Last time i had learned before Gu Zheng which is also belong to chinise orchestra instrument. So now I am looking towards Di Zhi. I will explained in detail by the SMART checklist below.

Specific- What I really plan to achieve is to be able to learn all the basic skill of the Di Zhi by the end of week 13.Beside that I also want to join the NYP Chinese Orchestra senior performance group to performance at different places. Besides that, I also want to learn all the level 3 song at the end of week 13.In addition, I will put more colour in my life by learning Di Zhi so that i would not waste my leisure time.

Measurable-The way for me to measure my improvement in Di Zhi is I will attend the practical test .By reffering to the practical result I can know which level I belongs to.Then, I will also conduct comment from my conductor . I will perform some song in front of my conductor then gets some comments from him.Good comment will easily prove that I can play well and bad comment will means that i still far away from my goal which means that more hard works are required.

Achievable- By having enough practice i strongly believe that I can play Di Zhi very well. Although I knew that 13 week is not a very short time, I trust that by the help from my conductor , senior and my own hard works , I can play Di Zhi very well.

Relevant- By learning Di Zhi, I also can learn many musical theory. I can handle the pitch, tempo, volume, chord, and lyrics of the song more perfectly after i had learned all the musical theory.By achieving this goal ,it may also help to have some advantages when I apply for university in the future.The chances to be taken in to the university will be highier compare to others who didnot learn music.In addition, I may be a Di Zhi performer in the future and it also put colour ub my future life. By the way, I also can fill up my leisure time by doing this meaningful activity instead of doing nothing all the time.
