Gerald Ginting 10RJ - Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai ED (Acoustic Guitar Cover)1.mp4

Gerald

Gerald, your Guitar performance showed great maturity and skill. The changes of energy and mood made this piece very pleasing to listen to. Perhaps a little more breathing space between the different sections would enhance the experience, and leave the listener in enjoyable suspense. However, this is a great performance. Thank you Gerald.

Joshua-Trombone

Joshua
2nd Place

Another fantastic performance Joshua. You have an amazingly rich and clear sound on the trombone for your level. Very accurate and characterful playing with regards to rhythm, articulation and tuning. You should feel very proud of another confident and mature performance. Well done Joshua!!

Jared Robins 10DB.mp4

Jared
3rd Place

A very lively performance of this tricky Trumpet study Jared. Just be sure, if you start a piece this fast that it keeps that energy throughout (not including the ‘rall’ section of course). As with the tempo changes, it’s also good to exaggerate dynamics as much as possible...even if you’re recording at home. Overall, a very impressive performance showing great skill and flexibility Jared, well done!

Aadit 7DG-E Violin.mp4

Aadit

Some excellent Violin playing Aadit. Very accurate and considerate playing with regards to rhythm and tuning. Perhaps a little hesitant when starting each phrase, this will improve with rehearsal and confidence. Otherwise, a very mature performance of this tricky piece Aadit. Well done

Aahana Kumara (4R)

Aahana

You have a beautiful sound on Flute, and an impressive range at this level. The piece you played has a lot of movement from high to low which you played with great flexibility. For your future development, think about your breathing with an aim to play longer phrases. However, you demonstrate some great skill in this performance, well done.

Avni Jitani_3J_Instrumental Solo.mp4

Avni

Avni, what a beautifully relaxing performance. You definitely show skill and good coordination on the Tongue Drum. I wonder, are you improvising the notes or is this a designed melody? Either way it was very soothing, thank you for sharing.

Daniel-2I.mov

Daniel

An excellent performance at this level Daniel. Very accurate pitching and good finger coordination. When breathing/getting ready to play, be sure to prepare early and anticipate the start of phrases. Overall a good performance on your French Horn, well done Daniel

Issey Collins 6M.mov

Issey

I very much enjoyed your performance of the Can-Can Issey. You demonstrate great skill and coordination on Flute. This is also a very professionally made video submission, very impressive. Perhaps, to help communication with your accompanist at the beginning, you could just slightly turn and give one upbeat movement/breath in time with the pulse.

Jeevekaa Veena

Jeevekaa

Some beautiful playing with excellent resonance and timbre on your Veena Jeevekaa. Your movement and coordination is very accurate and this recording is particularly enjoyable to watch as well as listen to. Thank you for your submission Jeevekaa

Jiya Patel Flute.MOV

Jiya

Well done Jiya!! You have a very nice bright sound on your bamboo flute. The piece you performed has a lot of intricate technical passages that move around a tricky section of the flute, but you handled this with great confidence. Looking ahead, I would suggest you think about both your breathing, with the aim of playing longer phrases, and your articulation to make the beginnings of notes sound more clear. Overall, you performed well. Great job!!

Joshua-6M.MOV

Joshua

Amazing!! This is a very challenging piece to perform, with lots of technical leaps between notes. Even with the challenges the piece brought, you performed it beautifully with very clear diction and accurate pitch throughout. The only thing I would ask you to adjust if you were to do it again would be, to be more confident on the top notes. Very impressive Joshua

KaiSung8DHviolin.mp4

Kai

Some excellent violin playing Kai. Some very accurate playing in regards to rhythm and intonation. However, it was perhaps a little less secure in a few of the fast intricate passages than you would like. However, overall it was a very enjoyable, mature performance. Well done!!

Mary 5P.mp4

Mary

You perform with a great, confident sound on the violin, and you gave a lovely introduction to the piece. The character of the piece was shown well throughout the piece. Looking forward, I would suggest you make sure you are holding the notes for the correct amount of time, and don’t forget to stretch when you are playing with your third finger. However, you demonstrate some great skill in this performance, well done.

Morris VanBeers (6P)

Morris

You have a really clear sound on the saxophone, which is impressive for your level. You performed with mostly accurate rhythm and articulation throughout, however, on the whole, the piece sounded a bit rushed and lacked some dynamics, which would have enhanced the character of the piece. Overall, it was a very enjoyable performance. Well done, Morris!!

Omar abouelenein 8DH instrument saxophone

Omar

This was a really secure performance, with an excellent ‘Jazzy’ character to it. You ‘swing’ the song very well and your attention to the dynamic and articulation details are evident. Unfortunately, this was let down by your recording equipment, which I’m sure would have made the performance stand out even more. Overall, it was a very well performed piece. Well done Omar!!

Robert Watson 5D.mp4

Robert

Well done Robert. That was a really nice, confident performance in a piece that has some challenging and intricate sections. Your rhythm and dynamics were very secure throughout and your intonation was mostly secure, just be careful of your tuning when you have a wide leap between notes. Overall, this was a fantastic performance which I really enjoyed. Great job!

Ruchita Prasad Year 8AH - Porthsmouth.mp4

Ruchita

Great job Ruchita. You have a clear understanding of the piece, and you performed this piece with secure rhythm. For your future development, the main area to focus on would be to make sure you are playing the string you are intending to. There were times when you played the wrong string by mistake, and if you fixed this, then the performance would have been even better. That being said however, this was a really good performance, and I really enjoyed it. Well done!!

X. Sherry Zhang 6M.mp4

Sherry

It’s fantastic to hear you perform again Sherry. You have a wonderfully clear and bright sound on the flute, which is very impressive for someone at this level. You performed with very accurate rhythm, intonation and articulation throughout this piece. For your future development, you should think about your breathing, with an aim to play longer phrases. However, you demonstrated great skill in this performance, well done.
