Setting Goals 10/23

In less than two months, I want to improve my performance skills to be ready for the Winter Concert. For this to be possible, I need to set a few goals for myself and decide what exactly I must change about my playing from the last concert. Here are some aspects which I would like to improve on:

Tone: One if the main things that I am trying hard to work on is my tone. As of now, it sounds fuzzy and not as smooth or flowing as I would like it to be. This partly has to do with my braces, which I am not used to yet. They do not allow me to tighten my embouchure, hence my sound is of poor quality. Before the next concert, I want to get used to my braces and try to work around that barrier so I can have better sound. I also want to work on my vibrato and keep a good tone for all ranges of notes.

Technique: I also want to improve on my accuracy and articulation. To achieve this, I will need a lot of practice and time spent in playing my flute. I want to be able to get almost all, if not all of the notes correct for the concert. I also need to improve my articulation and make sure to play all of the slurs, accents and overall style in the right places. I hope to fit in with the rest of the band and sound balanced when we are playing on stage.

Overall, I want to improve in every aspect of my performance from phrasing to musicality to technique and tone. Hopefully I will greatly improve over the next few weeks.
