Introduction
As a Junior in this class, I have 100% (A). I love coming everyday to this class and be ready to sing and enjoy myself. Especially, since its my last module of the day. We don't really do homework instead we write dow lyrics from the songs we are going to preform, learn pitches, tone our voices, warm-up our voices and memories when to sing high or low. In addition, we have to memories the Solfa Hand Signs from the start to end and from the end to the start. My strength in this class would be to remember the pitches and warm-ups. On the other hand, my only struggle would be to remember the lyrics. Sometimes I forget when to sing and when not to sing. So far, Im doing really good in this class. The only support I would need from my teacher is to guide me when to sing and when not to sing.
How will I achieve the goal i set myself for this class?
My only goals for this class is to become a better singer and to maintain my grade as an A. I plan to achieve this goal by always coming in on time, be prepared to sing and take notes and by requesting any help if needed. If I stick to this plan and with the help of Mr.Hyler, I know I will achieve this goal with no problem.
Every day warm-up
Everyday, on Mr.Hylers class, we warm up by doing the following things. We say:
-1,1,2,1,1,2,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
Same thing goes with the pitches.For example we say:
-do,do,re,do,do,re,mi,re,do,do,re,mi,fa,mi,re,do,do,re,mi,fa,sol,fa,mi,re,do,do,re,mi,fa,sol,la,sol,fa,mi,re,do,do,re,mi,fa,sol,la,ti,la,sol,fa,mi,re,do.
The purpose to this is to warm up our vocal cords or throat and learn the pitches.

hand signals
Just like we learn the pitches, we have to learn the hand signals. In order to understand what the composer what's to hear.
Seasons of love (dynamics)
In the beginning of the year we started to begging a song for the upcoming concert. Its called, "Seasons of Love" and Mr. Hyler is teaching us when to sing in a high pitch voice and when to sing softly.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes (On this section we sign in a normal pitch voice. We warm up with first then start thing)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets (On this section we sign softly and raise our voice in laughter etc.)
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles,
in laughter, in strife (We raise our voice as we start this line and continue until we reach how about etc.)
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?
How about love? ( in this line we split sections from base-tenor,soprano and alto. Soprano sign the high pitch and base-tenor sign the lo pitch part. Same words just different pitches.)

Guitar ( 2016-2017)
Just like I switched from AP Bio to Ecology, I switched from Drama to Guitar. The experience overall has been great and I have always wanted to learn guitar. However, I do find it hard to learn and a lot of things to memories.
As I mentioned before, I have not been here the whole time, so I do have some cords that I'm missing. However, in the time that I have been there, I have managed to memories and pass the quizes Mr.Hiler has given us.
Goals For This class
My goal for this class is to understand more the structure of the cords, learn how to play properly and to pass this class with an A.
Urban Agriculture (2016-2017)
On this class, we are learning about gardening and our environment. In addition to nutrition and how can foods affect your life depending where you are buying them from. We did some garden signs recently but they are already in the garden and I never got the chance of taking a picture of it. However, we are recently making a slide show about a topic that Mr.Newman gave us. The following is my slide show in which I'm partner with Williams Palma; https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1c8CeRYYcNUjcmxrULIKLjPoYZjrDT_gRCIOcb0O0Z9c/edit#slide=id.g18200d3fbb_0_21

Goals for this Class
The only goals I have for this class is to get an A and learn something about the environment. On how I as an individual, can make the environment a better place for others.
