Naomi Poindexter caught my attention (2017). When I observed my videotaped lessons, I noticed how I give students praise and repeatedly use the phrases, “Great job, awesome, and way to go.” I realized how these words provided a positive response, but did not give students specific feedback about what they did.

Bars 113-132 The second theme of the development has a variation between bars 113-120 (Figure 6). The melody of the variation is in octaves, and it has the inner voice in the right hand part of the piano. When Rachmaninoff established a solid big phrase, and the tempo was not too fast, he would still play all the details clearly, just as he performed bars 109 to 112 from the first movement of his Piano Concerto No.2.

these hidden meanings. Ulalume does a better job of expressing Poe’s feelings about the death of Virginia, because it gives more details, shows how he is coping with her death, and it shows what Poe is feeling. The poem Ulalume uses strong words and phrases.
