1. If you could perform again, what would you do differently? Why?

I would practice the trombone more so as not to make the sound shake because it did a little during the performance.

2. What aspects/parts of your performance do you think were the most successful? Why?

The piano's outro was the best because when we were practicing, it didn't go out good but it turned out good at the performance.

3. What goals would you set for yourself as a musician moving forward?

I want to be able to play songs easily just by hearing it

4. How has this performance experience shaped your confidence as a musician?

The performance made me confident because I did ok in front of a lot of people without getting nervous.

5. How is playing in a smaller group different than as a whole class?

playing in small groups is different from playing as a whole class because there are more instruments and different people at different levels of instruments.

6. What skills are needed to play in a smaller group?

listening to each other is important because there is less people playing and you have to mind your volume.

7. What were some successes your group had with the song?

I think one of the successes that our group had was learning the riff quite quickly.

8. What would you do as an individual and as a group to improve the song in the future?

I should practice the trombone so the sound doesn't shake(?) we should play more with the group together.
