State Piano

Darby participated in the State Achievement auditions for piano today. I was not able to be there with her, but her mom took her and reported back to me the results. She scored a 1 (The best-to-worst scale is 1+, 1, 1-, 2, 3, 4). I don't have a picture to post yet, but hope to soon.


Update
Here's a picture of Darby with her trophy and certificate:

Her performance critique sheet reads as follows:

"Nice tempo! Well maintained. Nice, even 16ths both rhythmically and tonally. I couldn't hear tone change when the RH and LH were playing the 16ths!

A few suggestions/comments:
- Check notes, measure 8
- Counting, measure 22
- Follow dynamic suggestions more carefully or have some of your own phrase shapes and contrast

Good work on this piece! You are a talented pianist."

For the record, she played Bach's Solfeggio.
