I will use my last rehearsals effectively by practising really hard and staying on task.
The thing that needs the most attention is bringing the whole piece together.
The things that sound good are the beginning and up to bar 27. We can make them great by keeping it in time and playing all the dynamics

My practice routine I think is pretty uneffective, because I hardly practice at home and that will affect my playing.
I can make my personal practice more effective by actually practising at home.
My long term practice goal is to be practising every 2nd day, and my short term practice goal is to be able to play the piece without fault

In three rehearsals our group has accomplished nearly every goal set, and we have reached at least bar 35. The only goal we haven't met yet was today which was playing from bar 27 - 35 and that was because we only had 2 people (me included) from our group here so we just focused on being able to play our parts. There is i don't think nothing that we are having trouble playing, it is only playing in time that we need to work on. The thing our group needs to work on most is playing in time as that is a big factor in playing in an ensemble. i personally need to work on staying in time with everyone else and not go ahead on the beat, to get the best results for my group.

Amazingly our group was able to reach our goal of getting to bar 19 altogether! This is the second time we have been able to reach it and go further in the piece. We worked brilliantly only getting distracted once in a while. We were able to reach the goal because we worked together and repeated sections over and over until we got it right. our group needs to improve on being more focused and i need to improve on not playing ahead of the group. next time i will focus more and stay with everyone.

Yes my group achieved what we set out to do. We were able to reach bar 11 together, then go further to get to bar 19. We were able to accomplish our goal because we all concerntrated and worked together. Our group needs to improve in staying on task, and i need to improve on practising at home. What i need to do next time is photocopy the music so that i can practice at home.
