Scales
All were played accurately with even rhythm and tone even if the tempo was a touch under the recommended for this Grade
20/21
A Kwela for Caitlin
A generally accurate performance that conveyed the lively character of this piece although there was a little upset in the rhythm and some piano dynamics could have been more contrasted
24/30
Reef
A very dramatic opening captured the character of the storm from the outset. As with the previous piece, the contrasting piano dynamic could have been explored a little more as could the marked changes of tempo in the final couple of lines. There were also minor note errors towards the end
26/30
Sonatina in A minor
Some effective and creative uses of dynamics and some nice shaping to this performance. The tempo was a little cautious for an Allegro but notes and rhythm were generally accurate.
26/30
Aural
There were small errors in all parts except c(i) although responses were confident and showed musical awareness so that strengths outweighed weaknesses
14/18
Sight Reading
A very fluent, even if rather slow performance, with largely accurate notes and a realization of some musical detail
17/21
TOTAL
127/150
