A bit rattly at times with a few noticeable blunders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\/How can I improve for next time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put: more practice on that tricky F chord. I believe if I manage to get that under control it would give me more confidence, leading to a more self assured performance all round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10656512\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/324\/2021\/09\/Oliver-Wright-Initial-Assessment.pdf\">Oliver-Wright-Initial-Assessment Feedback<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10656512\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/324\/2021\/09\/Oliver-Wright-Initial-Assessment.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Targets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on strategies and techniques to improve technical ability &#8211; creating a practice routine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on being able to play a variety of barre chords<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More indepth and detailed evaluations including subject specific terminology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing in research to back up points and find strategies to improve performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did I choose this piece?
