I hope for a smooth performance of my quartet and of my orchestra. I hope to personally work on Vivaldi's concerto in Dminor, 3rd movement. I hope to be able to use vibrato and to have made lots of friends who share an interest in music. I will compare my progress with the above paragraph and discuss with my teacher whether this camp has improved my skills as much as I had hoped. If it does not, I will consider a different camp for next year.
I performed well in the final concert. My coach and I agreed that it was our best execution of the chamber piece. The Orchestra concert went very well. I felt reasonably prepared, confident, and excited to show my family what I could do. I practiced my personal repertoire a lot, and I improved technically by the sheer number of hours I spent practicing. The more one practices, the more natural it becomes.
