October 20, 2010

        We recently had a playing test.  I think I played pretty well.  I got a 4 in tone quality and left hand and posture, a three in rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and right hand posture and a two in articulation.  These are pretty accurate.  After listening and seeing m self playing I have found that I could try to articulate my bow strokes but this will be hard since I am still figuring out how to hold my bow properly.  My dynamics, pitch and rhythm could use more work.  Also I should practice and check my bow hold regularly when playing and working with exaggerating my articulation.
            While I play in practice I make sure to but special attention to my bow hold and take note of the changes in articulation.  Even though there is not many major articulations in the new piece will work on exaggerating them all as much as I can.
