I have chosen to play this piece because I think that the solo is really difficult and challenging, this also proves that I had to learn the tab for this song and understand the basic concepts of music theory and bass clef. At the time of this video I have already completed my grade five bass and gotten a Distinction, I think I got 19\/20 on this piece which is really good. I have also chosen this piece because at the minute I&#8217;m doping grade 8 bass but I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m quite on that level yet so this was the next hardest thing I could do to show off my technical capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was successful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that this recording of the song was quite successful because I Played everything correctly, I made sure to provide a stylistically accurate solo and I also made sure to include plenty of dynamics in the song, as well as keeping in time and playing the correct phrasing of the sheet music. I think that the most successful thing in this piece is my bass solo because it shows that I can play fast paced hammer ons and pull offs whilst ascending and defending, and it also shows that I have a decent understanding of the fretboard because I didn&#8217;t stick to one scale all the way through, I also made sure to add loads of expression into this solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What wasn\u2019t as successful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t really think that there weren&#8217;t that many unsuccessful things in this performance apart from that I could&#8217;ve recorded it through logic instead of my phone camera, I only didn&#8217;t do this because I think it would be a hassle trying to learn how to use a video editor to match the audio to the video and in the end it might sounded slightly off, also this would be also hard to do because I was quite short on time to do this. I also should&#8217;ve looked a bit more lively but I didn&#8217;t feel like I was playing to any sort of audience but when looking back on the video I should&#8217;ve made it seem more interesting, this is also hard to do infant of a camera because you feel the pressure more because Im also trying not to mess up any parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How could I improve If I did this again?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I had more time to do this again I would definitely attempt to finish learning a grade eight bass piece that I&#8217;m currently learning because it is extremely difficult and would be more challenging, maybe I could even use a better camera rather than my phone camera but overall I&#8217;m quite happy with how this initial assessment has turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10671512\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/569\/2023\/10\/Ethan-Faulkner-Initial-Assessment.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Ethan-Faulkner-Initial-Assessment.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-eae9b018-05f7-4234-b65c-f96482e976af\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10671512\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/569\/2023\/10\/Ethan-Faulkner-Initial-Assessment.pdf\">Ethan-Faulkner-Initial-Assessment<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10671512\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/569\/2023\/10\/Ethan-Faulkner-Initial-Assessment.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-eae9b018-05f7-4234-b65c-f96482e976af\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart targets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time when recording I will definitely Improve my audio quality by recording through a DAW, I will do this because it will make my work look more professional and it will give the viewer a better experience when watching and listening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will make a good attempt to Achieve grade 8 bass by the end of the year, this is because it will help me with getting into university and it is also another musical qualification that I can add to my CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my final target I will make sure to get better at time keeping <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluation For my Initial assessment I have chosen to play a bass grade five piece called Tiberius.
