Looking back at all the work my group has done with our six pieces of music, I'd say that our main focuses such as cuing and balance between the instruments has been met. During the performance, if there were any instances where we slightly came off tempo, we each knew the section where we could come back into the song on time. The one negative attribute of the performance  was dynamics; we did a lot of work, but the atmosphere of the atrium spread the sound out differently from when we practiced alone or in the practice room. So in the future, I believe practicing in different environments beforehand will benefit my group so that we can adapt to different atmospheres during a performance. I believe I met my goal to become a more confident player; I was able to cue without hesitation during the performance especially during tempo changes in Lord of the Rings and Can't Help Falling in Love.

Now, it is about March 30, and we have all six of our songs and most of them are pretty great. Ludwig's Tango is going very well; we decided to add accents to most our half or quarter notes in order to create that sassy tango style sound. Flower Duet is the only song we are very concerned with because it is hard to stay together; my viola part has a completely different rhythm compared to the violin parts, so staying on beat feels impossible. However, Lord of the Rings Medley and Phantom are coming a long greatly. Our rhythms and tempo changes are becoming smoother at every practice.

My goal is to become a more confident player and a leader if possible. A lot of times, I do not play out as much because I feel that I will play something wrong even though most of my peers continue to say that my flaws are limited. Playing out will benefit the section and help me find what parts of a song I need to practice. In addition, this will make me feel more comfortable pointing out other sections of a song that need work; I do not like to make others feel inferior when I find a section of a piece that we collectively made mistakes on. Hopefully, over the course of this project, this will encourage my other members to play out as well and announce their mistakes or places we should work on together.
