“erling Etude No. 18: Fluent playing here showing excellent technique and articulation.
Sophisticated Lady: Good contrast here from the Ferling etude. I paticularly liked how you
changed your sound to match the style. Piece 3: La Boumiano: Great energetic playing, maybe sit
back on ihe pulse a little as some of the passages felt slightly rushed, particularly when making an
entry after a rest. (eg. just before figure 2) Try to keep the pulse steady when counting the rests.
Once again your articulation is very good, especially in the run to the end. Scales/Arpeggios:
Excellent, well done.
