Fear 2 of 2

   4.    Conduct the experiment.

I performed a song that I had written a long time ago, but was too afraid to show people for so long. It was a metaphorical way to face my fear of judgment from others. (the song I performed can be streamed/downloaded below)

    5.    Observe the reaction.

The class was excited when I began the presentation. While I was performing, some looked somewhat bored, while other's were very engaged. Towards the end of the track, people seemed to really enjoy the melody. After I explained how I performed and how the technology worked, my classmates were very generous. They explained how I was "like a DJ" but more into it, and musical. Like how I performed the song seemed much more natural and expressive than it would have been if I had turntables.

    6.    Analysis of hypothesis with actual outcome.
            
I think I got the desired outcome for the most part. People liked watching, and I liked performing. I probably should have explained the technology and the details of the performance before I began playing though.

    7.    Propose changes to your idea based on what happened.

The class seemed to enjoy listening to the song and watching me perform. Though they were confused for the performance because I forgot to explain exactly what I was doing! Overall I think it went fine, I just wish I had explained how I was performing my music first. Also an extension chord would have helped so I could have sat in the middle of the room with my equipment where everyone could see me. Thats all I probably would have changed.
