Grade 2 Practical Test Atharva Music Academy Shreyas Anand

Piece Name Remarks Marks

Minuet in G Song well Started with a lot of Confidence. All the 10/10
functionalities were well executed. Slurs were well highlighted
and the strings part was really engaging. Was well ended.
Overall a good performance.

Tritsch Tratsch Polka The piece was enthusiastically started. The fills were in place. 7/10
There was a minor slip in the middle. But the student did not
get nervous and continued the song like no mistake
happened which was a good progress. Towards the end
there was one major confusion and an unwanted repetition
with some errors. Overall it was not the best performance for
the day.

Skye Boat Song There was an unwanted delay in setting up for the piece. The 9.5/10
song was well started. The melodious passages were well
interpreted. It was an overall good performance.

Adios Muchachos There was again an unwanted delay where the student was 14.5/15
practicing the piece in front of the examiner. The song was
well started. The middle sections were engaging. Was a
confident attempt without any errors. Good Job.

Perfect Day The song was really well started. All the passages were 15/15
carefully played. There was just one small slip in between
which still did not affect this amazing performance.

Yellow Bird The song was well started. The syncopated sections were 15/15
exciting. The slurs were well articulated. The Guitar section
was really bright and colourful. Enjoyed this lively
performance. Was indeed the best piece of the day.

Something Unexpected Was well started and played very confidently. Was a really 5/5
nice emotional melody which was found in the exercise
which was nicely interpreted by the candidate. Overall a nice
Performance for the day.

Strolling The piece was started well. But in the middle the swing 8/10
sections were a bit insecure. There was a slight rhythm error.
The candidate then smartly tried to Continue the piece
without stopping despite realising this and handled the
ending well. This can be appreciated. But the exercise was
not played as confidently as the other exercise. Need to work
little more on the swing area. Also the tempo chosen was
slower than the original.

D Major Hands Together The scale was played well. Although there were slight light 1.5/2
small slips. It seemed well overall. But the lack of confidence
in the candidate was evidently seen.

G Minor Hands Together The scale was played well. This one had more confidence. 2/2

Pentatonic D RH Good Job. Perfect 2/2

A Harmonic contrary Good Job. Perfect 2/2

Chromatic Scale on Bb Student was not confident in the start. But then he managed 0.5/2
and played it almost fine. Just a little more practice needed
to perfect this scale. This is important as well.

GRAND TOTAL AND

92/100
It was a good performance overall. The candidate seems well
prepared but needs to just avoid being nervous at the time of
OVERALL the exam and needs to enjoy and freely play the pieces for
COMMENTS more impact on the examiner. Overall a good performance,
Congratulations on the same.
