Example of a GREAT response: I started with Each time you tell their story at measure 24. I played with a metronome on my phone so I would slow down. As time went on I turned the volume down more and more so I didn't depend on it as much. Then I worked on La Saeta. I worked on the beginning and I took it very slow and then gradually went faster and faster. I made sure that it sounded smooth as I sped it up. Also when i would mess i would replay the measure until it sounded good three times in a row. Also when I worked on it I did one measure then added part of the next one and slowly got it so i was able to play it all.

Example of a GREAT response: I practiced measures 59 to the end in La saeta. I started slower and then tried to speed it up. struggled with the 5 eighth note thing. I practiced bluebells of scotland from the beiging to big number 1. I slurred it all down to get the fingering down and then added the staccatos. It kinda worked. Also did big number 2 and slowed it down. Play bluebells over and over. I worked on it the longest. I didnt get to This too shall pass. For Each Time you Tell Their Story i practiced measure 13. then ran through the song 3 times. For Earth Dance i practiced measure 14-21. I tried doing those jump things but it sounded kind weird and bad so i stopped lol. I also practiced 74 with the high notes. Making sure i can hit them easily. Also played through measures 152-158 to make sure i could hit those high notes too. (I could)

Example of an OKAY response: I ran through all of the songs and I ran through each of the measures above at least three times and whatever else I ended up getting stuck on. --- why is it OKAY? It specifies what they practiced and touches on how by specifying they did it three times where they had issues, but didn't specify what they got stuck on and how they improved it.

Example of a LACKING response: earth dance by doing the beginning --- why was this lacking? - It didn't specify HOW you practiced. If you only practiced a small section, the how is VERY VERY important.

Example of a LACKING response: Earthdance: Measures 86-152, 1+2, Bluebells of scotland: Sections 1-3 This too shall pass: Whole song --- why was this lacking? - It didn't specify HOW you practiced.
