Today is my assessment on performing my own composition. I did pretty good with my A and B, but i made mistakes on left hands on part c. I should improve on memorizing the song better and do it without mistakes. I hope I get a good score.

Today, I watched some youtube videos about music talent like violin, cello. guitar. an orchestra and acapalle talent. Then, some of my friends redo the group singing assessment. After that, one of members from each instrument perform their composition. For instrument class, I practiced my composition.

composition practice #4

I this video, I really show an improvement. I really did it well on the 3 parts, a, b and c. I did not make any mistakes, I play it fluently and I play it faster than before because one of my friend gave me a feedback that if I play my song faster it would sound happier and better. I hope I can do my best for the assessment.

composition practice #3

I just had a few practices before taking this video. I show some progress especially on part b. I did it really well and same as part c. It's getting better and better. I hope I can do it without making mistakes next time.

composition practice #2

This is my next practice to play my composition without reading the notes. I made a few mistake on part a and b but I still made many mistake on part c. I really need to work harder by practicing it.

composition practice #1

This is my first practice to play my own composition without reading the notes. I made a lot of mistakes on every part, part A, B and C. I need to try to memorize it better and play it without making mistake. I also think to practice more with fingering on the left hands for part C.
