1. I've practiced every single day since the assignment was given except for one.

2. I've improved in tone, articulation, and dynamics.

3. There is always more room for improvement in many areas.

4. If you don't practice you won't get any better. If you are consistently practicing, things will come easier and you'll enjoy it more.

I also improved on my musicality by using dynamic expression. I learned how to play for a judge. 3. I enjoyed this experience. It was a good way to help me in multiple areas of my musicality. The piece pushed me to try new things. The judge also gave helpful feedback and helped me improve.

I think for Christmas and veterans day I will practice about the same amount. I don't think our performance was honoring to God. Not everyone did their best, which is what God calls us to do. If you are doing something, do it to the best of your ability.
