What is a Community of practice? Etienne Wenger informs us that a community of practice is a “Group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better”. Given these points, we all have a community of practice. In which we can relate to having a significant event that has helped us identify ourselves as experts, within our community. In my case, my community of practice involves my number one hobby which is playing the violin. This takes place in a mariachi group here in the community of San Bernardino.
Not to mention, this community of practice has been expertise within my community for a long period of time. I’ve been part of it since it established in February 2009. This mariachi group is involved with people that want to strive for a better performance and a fundamental achievement of better musicians.

I went to practice and found myself on stage wondering how the performance was going to turn
