Drums

Drums is an activity I have been doing for 2+ years. All though I enjoy taking Drums lessons and learning new techniques and songs, one challenge I have been facing is how I become really nervous during performances and exams. In order to overcome this, I played in a band and performed in front of a stage. At the time I had support from my band members and was not feeling too nervous but, during exams where I am alone, I often become really nervous and cannot perform well.

My first service reflection

My first service reflection

My service is ‘improving motor and cognitive skills with Apex Harmony’. Here we help people with dementia improve their cognitive skills. After meeting my clients for 15-20 minutes one thing I noticed was the language barrier. Most of the people there were Chinese speakers making it very hard to have a conversation. Another interesting thing I found was the change in behaviour for people with dementia. Although the lady I talked to was very nice and kind at first when I asked ‘what board game are you playing?’ she became very frustrated and annoyed. One thing to keep in mind when I visit them next would be to make sure to not say something they would not like.
