Self-evaluation:

Musicianship: 4 points, I think my pitch and rhythm of the song were pretty accurate, and I think I had an appropriate tempo, however, perhaps my phrasing and expression could have been better.

Leadership: 6 points. Leadership was perhaps my weakest point. Because I was nervous I feel that my body language, facial expression and intensity could have been much better. I think I did ok on eye contact and volume.

Preparation: 13 points. I feel I did alright in preparing my lesson plan. I had all my materials ready as well as a written plan in hand and I had practiced the music and plan. I do however feel I could have better explained things better during my lesson because I know a lot of people were confused.

Delivery of Instruction: 16 points. I think my most difficult part in carrying out the instruction was my verbal instructioning because I think my words confused a lot of people. I think I was able to motivate and capture the attention of my students because they seemed to think the song was fun once they got the hang of it. Also, I think my feedback, focus, and closure of the lesson were alright. However, after watching all my classmates carry out their lesson plans I now think I can improve in most of these areas still.

Total points: 39

I think I did alright overall for my first time carrying out a lesson plan in front of a class, but I know there are many areas I can improve in. The hardest part about carrying out a lesson plan is actually being in front of a bunch of people who are counting on you to teach them something fun, exciting and new. I was very nervous in front of the class and that made me botch up a lot of my words. However I think I picked a good song because the class seemed to have fun with it.
