Studies: 8.5/12
4.5/6 Study 1: Etude in F Major
Make sure all the LH notes come through, a few were lost today. Work
towards clarity in the eighth notes. Overall good tempo and accuracy.
Phrasing and dynamics could use a little more love!

4/6 Study 2: Arabesque

Accents could come through a lot more. I think this tempo is slightly too fast
for you, since the sixteenths are becoming uneven as you play. Good use of
ritardando. Would like to see more wrist action in the phrasing. Good
confidence. No faster than 104!

Repertoire: 46/56
Memory: 6/6
13/16 List A: Musette in D Major
Fingering is sometimes a little strange (should be finger 2 in line 3). Still
some wrong LH notes in measure 19. Again, try to use the wrist more to roll
off phrases. Sometimes your rhythm in measure 3 is a bit lilted. Review
1e&a principles.
14/18 List B: Sonatina in C major
Nice and bright opening! Watch softness in line two and contrasting
dynamics in general. Dont hop the notes in measure 12, you need to keep
these phrases smooth. I didnt really hear the loud vs. soft today. Otherwise,
the tempo is in much better control and the notes are excellent, so this is just
missing the finer details right now.
13/16 List C: The Song of Twilight
Watch the opening, take some time to get in the mood, especially after
playing Sonatina in C+! Make sure all the LH chords come through, not all
the notes are being played right now. Phrasing is better here Very floaty
and smooth. Ending could fade & become softer and slower with more

gradation. Try to blend these areas rather than suddenly transition!

Ear: 7/10
2/2 Intervals: p4, +3, -3, p4
2/2 Chords: minor, major
1/2 Clap: Missing dotted quarter notes
2/4 Playback: Still having some issues with stepping down vs skipping.

Sight: 8/10
2.5/3 Clap: Great!
5.5/7 Play: Good overall, but rhythm is off and you need to count in before
you begin!
