What I think I did well:
I think I played long notes well and extended the notes to their full value, for example, in measures 6-8 I didn’t pause in between the half notes. I also think I articulated well because at the slurs I didn’t tongue and on the notes without slurs, I remembered to tongue them. There are many measures in the song where there are slurs, but in measure 5 I slurred the first three notes and tongued the last one. Most of the time, I didn’t breathe in between notes until there was a breath mark. I didn’t play too fast or too slow. I was on beat for the whole song. For the rests, I didn’t play and waited the correct amount of time. While I was playing, I listened to the audio to determine if I was playing too fast or slow. It was easy to lose the rhythm and play too fast or slow, especially at the four-measure rests if you accidentally start playing again too early or late. I prevented this by counting in my head and, as I mentioned before, listening to the audio. …show more content…
My tone was good for the most part. Other than maybe a squeak or two, it wasn’t airy or bubbly. You could hear the notes clearly because of this, and maybe it was because of my posture as well. I also played at the right pitches. I believe I missed a few high notes, but the piece was still easily recognizable and it barely influenced the overall
