Physical skills-
-clapping in time
-smiling through most of the performance
- moving in time to the music even though there wasn't much movement 

Vocal Skills-
-singing correct harmony in parts of the song
-diction throughout was good
-was able to block out the other harmony's to keep mine correct
- kept up with the pace of the song

Interpretive-
-expression- smile through the whole performance as i was concentrating so wasn't smiling as much as i could of
-relax- shoulders back and hold it 
- step and clapping- shows audience that the song is upbeat and we enjoy it

Personal management & discipline-
- knew my words by the date that was given to us
- was always on time to lesson
- practiced in practice rooms with group to make sure harmony was correct

Feedback from teacher-
- kept going over section with us so we knew exactly what we was doing
- correcting all the timings so we was all in time

Feedback from e-buddy-
- said i was clapping in time and had good rhythm 
- i was in tune which made the whole group sound in tune as we all could hold our notes
- in sync with everyone 

Overall strengths and areas for improvement-
- in one part of the harmony make sure it is correct instead of changing and doing someone elses harmony
-i feel as though i was good at projecting my voice and that i held good posture through and i was signing the correct part of the song and got all the lyrics correct

A short term target and a long term target-
-Short- put myself forward for solos and dont be nervous
-Long- increase my range so i can sing higher and lower notes
