Performance Analysis
Luke – Six-Pence-Blues
A real nice jazzy piece. He did well with playing it, although there were a few spots where he obviously had trouble with a few parts, he’s obviously doing relatively well.

Miriam – An-Ne-Nak-Digal, and An-De-Musik
Such a strong voice and pure sound, she gives the voice character and emotion when she sings. She has a strong grasp of dynamics and expressiveness, as well as mechanics.

Jerry – Sonorodies
His piece struck me as overly simple but the more I listened the more I realized how very good the piece was for teaching him and for him learning the notes and keys. Well done.

Kate – An-De-Musik
Lord! Kate has a beautiful voice. She really can (and did) belt it out. She too was expressive and beautifully well put together in her sound.

Dee – Finalle
Wow! An organ piece and one especially so well done! So much sound and control and she really had control of her pace and timing and the piece. Dee did a very good job playing.

Madeline – Silent Noon
She really seemed to get into her piece and although she wasn’t very loud she did well singing and expressing her sound. I wish I could remember as much as her.

Kate – E-Se-Damoré
Kate’s voice is beautiful and operatic in her control and tone. She has such control of her sound that it makes her singing very expressive and live. She doesn’t seem too over rehearsed or overdone.

Tamia – Swan Lake
Such a beautiful and familiar, you could tell she was hesitating at first but once she got past that nervous beginning the hesitation and forced nature became more relaxed and beautiful.

Becca – I know that my redeemer liveth
Such a small bell-like voice made so big, Becca has so much control and so much in the line of breath-support and you can tell that she’ll do nothing but get better and better.

- Bliss (by Schubert)
She seems a bit breathy but her sound beneath it is full and pure and beautiful. Also having all that memorized is quite a feat.

- Matchmaker – piano duet
She seems to have a heavy hand and to be very nervous but otherwise it was a fun tune and done well.

Hope – wishing you were here again
Despite the shaky start, Hope has such a beautiful voice and it sends chills of warmth to hear her hit some of those notes, she is emotional and evocative with her singing. Beautifully well done.

Natalie – Intro Choralle
He didn’t hesitate to bring forth the sound and she seemed very sure of her fingering/playing. Very well done.
