    What is reflective practice?

    • Questions our processes (both individual and collaborative)
    • Encourages deeper learning / embeds knowledge
    • Intrinsically motivating, helping us overcome blocks

    • What do I believe in?
    How do we reflect?

    • Reflection in action – thinking while doing
    • Reflection on action – thinking after doing

    Models of Reflection

    A Sample Model

    • What happened?
    • Why did it happen?
    • What does that information tell you about yourself?
    • How does that information help you further develop?


    Another model

    • Action – look
    • Description – list
    • Reflection – what do you notice?
    • Reflection on reflection – what does that tell you?
    • Change of arena – from private to public

    Activity

    List significant artistic moments in the last 6 months

    In pairs, share…

    • the one you are most proud of and why
    • the one you found most challenging and why
    • Question each other… dig deeper!

    Come back and share the most helpful question your partner asked you.

    Some helpful questions:

    • Why am I a musician?
    • What kind of career do I want?
    • How much do I want to change the world?
    • What am I trying to do


    First essay

    Identifies objectives and suggests strategies for the coming year (1350-1650 words)

    Setting goals

    • Short-term for the chimp
    • Long-term for our whole careers
    • How can we break down big goals to fit into this immediate year?
    • SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely)


    What’s next

    Choose how to keep a record of your journey through the year (written journal, voice notes on your phone), because things may well shift; this will then form the material for your second SRA
