The countdown has begun

After my recital jury, I realized there is still so much to be done before my recital. It was good to experience some nerves during the jury because it showed me what could happen. I definitely made many more mistakes than I thought I would, mostly contributed to nerves. This week during my practicing I've been trying to find new reeds and working on slow practice and looking at the bigger picture in my pieces. One of my big comments from the jury was that I was too focused on notes. I know that's a problem of mine, so I'm really working on trying to think about where am I going with this music? Where does this phrase lead? With the bigger picture in mind, I think the music will go much more smoothly and sound more convincing to my audience. Hopefully with the little amount of time left before the big day I can accomplish this in all of my pieces and give a fine performance!
