What is "shared responsibility" and how does it apply to our music program? How does leadership of the program fit into the shared responsibilities each member (student and teacher) of our program?
Think hard. Re-read your submission.
A weekly blog with information about the Band Program at Vancouver Technical Secondary School. This blog is for students, parents, alumni, and supporters of the VT Band Program.
A "shared reponsiblity" is something that everyone in a certain group no matter how large should be accountable for. We all have to do our part in playing our instruments, keeping time, reading, and understanding our music, listening, and cooperating with our fellow musicians, watching the conductor, etc.. This shows how it correlates to our music program. The communication and cooperation between a student and a teacher or a leader also contributes to the "shared responsibility" of the program.
ReplyDeleteShared responsibility and leadership related to band, is everything. First of all to be successful in band, you have to be responsible, and have leadership to be a good student. Because responsibility falls under the organization category also, which you need to be. The shared part means to "work together" so altogether, shared responsibility means (i.e the brass section does their job, the woodwinds do their job, and the percussionists do their's, and we all share the same responsibility, which is to play music together). All of this goes with leadership because the position of a leader is met by doing your job, and making sure everyone else does their's.
ReplyDeleteShared responsibility is the team concept that each member will play their part in the band. We rely on everyone to participate in order for the music program to be sucessful.

Compare it to a fugue. A fugue has shared responsibility. There's the leader, the subject, and the followers, the counter-subject. The leaders might be in the foreground, but the background is important, too. Each thing -or person- has a responsibility, no matter how little, even if it's a filler, you're filling something in.
ReplyDeleteThe teacher's the guide, and the students follow, or experience the stuff...
I'm getting myself confused.. -.-

Well, when we say "shared responsibility" I think of things that are apart which can then be put together. For example, everyone is given a puzzle piece and told to colour it in detail depending on their section. There are puzzle pieces that make up the background, middle ground and foreground like Mr.Reid has described times before through his portrait he hangs up on the wall. Well without a few of these pieces what would the picture look like? Or what if the colouring was a mess? Well the responsibility all lies with whoever has the piece of the puzzle. Knowing when to lead themselves when their is no one but themselves. While also knowing when to share the lead when there are people around them.
ReplyDeleteThe music program is fun that way.
Personally, it truly is.
I think shared responsibility means practicing the music we are learning in band at home. It applies to our program by each and everyone of us taking the responsibility and perfecting your own parts. I think leadership of a student applies to our program by helping out classmates in your section. I think leadership of a teacher applies to our program by guiding us along the way and letting go of our hands when we are independent enough.
ReplyDeleteShared responsibility is when everyone is responsible for their own actions. It applies to our music prgram because we are all expected to take initiative and be independant players, while still being aware of the sounds around us. Leadership fits in with shared responsiblity because our music council is basically student run. We are not told what to do by other students or teachers, and we all feel that we are equals. It also gives us a chance to think for our selves and not rely on someone else. Another reason why leadership fits in with shared responsibility is beacause each section is student run. This makes our band special because it is basically ran by the student. [With guidence from the teachers]
ReplyDeleteI think that shared responsibility is when everyone is responsible for the 'whole'. In this case, in band, when we practice at home and participate in class by playing, we are all contributing something to our repertoire and band. Also, band all together is a shared responsibility, because there isn't just one person who is responsible for the whole song or all mistakes. Instead, each and every one of us is responsible for the band as a whole , and everyone is important in different ways. Therefore, things won't work if only one of us plays and so it won't be complete and will not be complete without everyone's contribution. That's why, everyone is responsible, which creates a 'shared responsibility'.
ReplyDeleteI think shared responsibility, means that everyone shares the same responsibilities. It applies to our music program, because like I said, everyone has the same responsibilities, such as coming on time for class, and getting ready to play.
ReplyDeleteLeadership also fits into the shared responsibilities, because leaders also have responsibilities. They are responsible to follow the same rules and to act like a role model.
Each member in the band program, whether its a student, teacher, or a supporter, or even an audience member, they are responsible for making the band program what it is today, whether good or bad. (Probably good)
ReplyDeleteI think that shared responsibility is exactly what it means; a responsibility that’s shared. It’s our responsibility (as students and musicians) to work hard to create music (and not a robot sound) and perform our best all the time. However, our responsibility is shared with our conductors’ (i.e. Mr. Reid for band and Ms. Fox for strings) except that their role is to guide us in the process of fulfilling these responsibilities. The leadership aspect of the program fits into these shared responsibilities because it takes leadership qualities, such as initiative and responsibility, to fulfill these tasks. I think that shared responsibility and leadership in a program lie hand in hand with each other.
ReplyDeleteShared responsibiliy is the Collaboration between two or more people performing the same kind of activity in the creation of the content of an item, it applies to our music program because if the students do not play a music piece collaborately, the creation of the piece will not fit together. Leadership of the program fits into the shared responsibilities of each member of our program because if there is no leader, each member will not be able to play a music piece correctly.
