Self/Time Management
It is important to organise myself well as it is a creative project and that means it can be harder to meet deadlines. I will make clear research plans and appropriate deadlines. It is also the first big long term project I have ever embarked on meaning I have to manage my time and ideas well.
I will need to formulate and consider and evaluate concepts and debatable questions using observation skills.

I had a composition unit last year in music class where I composed a woodwind quartet for the chamber group I was in.

Instrumental Instruction
Last year in design, we had to code a website for a community. I chose the ISB music community hence, I conducted research into communities.
Research
Since I have relatively minimal knowledge regarding liturgical music, I need good research skills to research and reference effectively.
Flute lessons for 7 years and counting
Singing lessons for 3 years
Piano lessons for a year
Social
Since my project is based on how music brings people together, I need to have good social skills in order to gain a deeper understanding of how people interact with it.
Communication
Communities are made up of humans and humans require communication. It is what makes us unique. To explore communities, I need strong communication skills so that I can reach out to people and connect with them.
Having taken music since I was young, I have gained a lot of knowledge and will continue to gain a deeper understanding of it.
