The assignment that I chose that helped me improve my critical thinking skills was my concert report for Music Appreciation, especially the one on the concert that wasn't LBC approved, which was allowed only once. The concert report assignment has us go to a concert or performance and study the music for its composition, feeling, instrumental parts, effectiveness, etc.
The idea for the concert report assignment was to have us go to a performance and pick out the artistic themes and methods that the musicians used. I selected this assignment for this topic because while you sit at the concert, you had to keep your brain running so you could pick out the important parts of the performance. The focus and the thinking that was used to complete this assignment, was much greater than I thought.
This assignment not only helped me appreciate music more, but also helped me think on a different plane; a plane that thinks about what is going on in a certain situation, and how to interpret it.
