Learning Company Strategy Challenge 2 Cd (30 Pieces)

Strategy is learning by doingSo said, Mercedes team principle and CEO, during the., one of the Mercedes F1 drivers, should have won the race in Azerbaijan Sunday. Late on in the race he was latest of the front-runners to pit and change his tires. As such he was most likely to change to the most soft tire that should have been more grippy than the tires of the 1 or 2 cars ahead. He was going to have enough laps left to take the race to them.

It looked like Bottas was going to win the race! The strategy, to leave him out longer than his immediate competitors (a Ferrari and another Mercedes) looked perfect.But in the post-race interview, Toto Wolff said in response to a question about how this strategy had developed, “Strategy is learning by doing”. The tires on all cars would rarely behave the same. What with traffic, variable weather and track conditions, there are many things to concern yourself with. As such strategy is not about developing before hand a detailed, item by item plan for the full 51 laps. It seems that strategy is a broad-brush overview or intent, with key decisions steps at places throughout the duration. Pitting (when to) and what tires to use are two key decisions that may change as events unfold around the card.

These decision points are where a team or driver might change the so-called strategy. So strategy is therefore learning by doing. Brilliant10 pints of beerIn the end Valtteri Bottas didn’t finish the race.

An errant piece of someone else’s F1 car was presumed run over by Bottas’s car and he collected a rear flat tire. He didn’t finish the race, and as luck would have it, his team mate. That teaches two other lessons:.

Never give up; things may come your way when you least expect it (Lewis seemed to have little chance of a race-win this weekend). Luck can very often trump strategyAnd as I noted precisely, we should remember that decisions and outcomes are not one and the same. See book review of. Bottas and his team took all the right decisions, given the conditions and known data. But luck appeared and the expected outcome changed.

In the post-race interview with Bottas, a clearly upset driver mooted in response to a question about how we might get over such a devastating turn of events, that “10 pints of beer” might help. Given the dedication and physical fitness of these F1 drives, I bet even that might not faze Bottas. He will be on the top of the podium again soon, I am sure.

Take the 30 Piece Challenge!Inspired by the brilliant pedagogue Elissa Milne, I am challenging each of my students to learn 30 new pieces this school year. There are so many great reasons for this challenge, and Elissa certainly has articulated these quite well which you should read.For the sake of brevity, I’ll just summarize what I think will be most important and exciting results of this challenge:. Students will gain a wide and practical knowledge and experience in a variety of music forms. Instead of learning 1 jazz piece, they may learn 5. Instead of 1 Baroque piece, they might learn 4. Students will become more astute sight readers. The best way to improve sight reading is to not only do it, but read a variety of styles and formats of music frequently.

The more repertoire that is “under their fingers” and “in their ears,” they more they can predict patterns and harmonies and improve their sight reading. Students also playing music from different composers and publishers will see a wide variety of notation styles and will keep them from getting “locked in” to a specific method. Students will play more musically in part because these pieces will be learned well. The better students are at sight reading, the faster they learn the details of music, and the more time they have to spend developing the fine art of communicating their music through their musicality. Students will be happier. The more music they can play, the more confident and proficient they feel, leading to a generally happier student.

How will we do this?Again, I am following the great ideas expressed by Elissa. The piece will be added to the list when it is first introduced. This rewards starting something new. The piece will be removed if the student chooses to stop learning the piece or not learn it in a musical way. Pieces will need to be at least 16 measures (8 for beginning students) and at a variety of levels. Students should be learning pieces of three different level varieties: 1. Challenging, 2.

At their level, 3. Easier, fun to learn pieces. They should also be learning pieces of differing styles. Students may choose and begin pieces on their own (especially older students concerned with learning too long of repertoire and not meeting their goals) so long as they are learning them with correct notes, rhythm, musicality, etc.How Will You Keep Track?Well, you know me. I can’t just use a plain piece of paper! You can download the that I will print on card stock and put in each of my students’ binders. I will be using one of the sheets in each student’s notebook, one of the charts in the studio so everyone can see everyone’s progress, and may use one of them as a card to stamp.

Is There A Reward?We all know that the reward in a challenge like this will be that students will learn all kinds of wonderful music that they will want to play and will be able to play. But in the end, yes, I will give the students who complete the challenge something special at the spring recital. Elissa suggested a medal. What Next?Well, now I’m off to searching for great music for my students! I love that I can choose music at their level and significantly below as well to help them meet their goals and have fun playing. I will most especially be having some of my students work out of Elissa Milne’s Pepper books (here’s the, the, the I) and – oh so fresh and fun!

Wendy,I saw this idea on Tim Topham’s blog! He has written some helpful articles about the challenge.

I adapted it for use in my studio this year. I just started the challenge- and will continue through the end of March. I chose 25 pieces, which is basically one a week.

I chose the end of March as a completion time, because I want to give those students a trophy at the end of year recital. I don’t know about your area, but everyone is ordering music and sports trophies in the spring, and I wanted to give myself some extra margin 🙂. Wendy,Thanks for taking this great idea and putting feet on it! Your charts are great. I love the “Practice Wiser” advice, too. I have a large contingency of boys in my studio this fall who have inspired me to combine this with a Lego theme (stolen from another creative teacher). Each student has a Lego meme who will advance on the grid with each piece learned.

I’ll mark off 10, 20 and 30 (as you have on your chart) with colored tape (the flat green platforms are just the right length). I figure if any student learns more than 30, they will get put on a Lego pedestal – kind of like getting kinged in Checkers. It’s not really a competition, but a fun peer pressure nudge.
