Final Concert Blog Reflection

Final Concert Blog Reflection:

• What I improved on:
• My intonation got a lot better, because I was able to learn all of my major scales and understand the different keys.
• My rhythm got better, I feel that I was able to maintain a steady tempo and interpreter the different rhythms, that maintain the writer's mood and theme.
• I became a lot more confident in my playing.  I belief the main reason for this is because I started taking private lessons.
• Finally, I believe that my tone improved.  This was mostly due to my increase in confidence.
• What I can improve on for next year:
• I still need to learn my minor scales, I will be continuing lessons, so that will hopefully be better by the time school starts.
• I would like to get my left hand to become faster, allowing me to play at faster tempos and shift faster and more accurately.
• Finally, I would like to be able to play more artistically.  For example be able to do more artistic things with my right hand.
• I did the actual concert reflection with Tess, Varsha, Carmen, and Eliana on a video.  I believe that the video is on Tess' blog.

There are only major scales on my blog because I have not yet learned minor scales.  I am taking private lessons right now, and will continue over the summer.  Therefore, I feel confident that I will be able to learn all of the minor scales by the time that school starts next year.

Thank you so much for you time,

I have not learned any of my minor scales, but I will be taking private lessons over the summer (and after that), so if I can learn all the major scales in 3 months, I think I can learn the minor scales over the summer!
