Playing Reflection #2
Since doing Sleeping Beauty was too hard for me, I decided to switch to a song which has a
healthy number of high notes so I can slowly practice. The name of the song is Pirates of the
Aegean.

What I did well: While playing, I hit the majority of the notes correct and my slurs are
better than I expected. Also, this is the first playing that I can actually hit a real high
note, not the squeaking sound that usually came out. I was able to hit the high C, D and E
based on the scale that I used. I will try to use the scale less to perfectly play a high
note.

Things I need to improve on: The first thing I need to improve is the tempo. The tempo
supposed to be fast and aggressive but I played the song slow and I did not keep the
pace constant. Second, I need to control the air when it comes out of my mouth since I
heard in some parts the sound of the spit came out, not the air.
