Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got into my band, I am 2nd 2nd flute, which I am really pleased about.
However, the person who had to mark me was really critical.
I got a low mark for sight reading but I knew I messed up, and I know I am good at sight reading, as for Grade 7 I got 29/32, and I knew I went wrong anyway.
My comments were:
"The 2 pieces were very well prepared, secure and allowed you to display your sensitive and attractive sound (oh my - a compliment from the most critical of people). Just how "molto tranquillo" was the Idylle (I don't know!)Some work on breath capacity/inhaling would really help you retain your poise in performance. Also please spend some serious, careful time on staccato technique.

The last comment - what! I thought I could staccato fine, my teacher has never mentioned it! I am surprised if that is what my sight reading mark down, indeed, he didn't mention the one I completely messed up.

Don't get me wrong, I am REALLY pleased that I got in (thanks for believing in me), but the comments just seem weird.

Anyway, also, I can now say that I don't have a course with my band on the 24th and so hopefully can do the concert :)

Thanks for helping me get through this audition.

Hehe, a thing that made me laugh, was my teacher wrote out the forms that said what people are in and she has put "[name of choir] and 2nd flute (2nd seat) in [name of band]. Well done!!

I am pleased but the comments are really annoying me. I know I messed up the sight reading, but about staccato tonguing...hmm.

Great news, Nicki. :D

Is there any way you can talk to this guy and ask him what he thinks you should do to improve?

Well, he is the boss of all the music teachers. I'll talk to my teacher first though, see what she thinks.
