progress 02/03/17

what have i achieved?
i have had a song change which i can play better which has less of a chance of making a mistake.
i have also gave feedback on another composition.
what do i need to improve?
i need to improve on my fills of songs and learn when the main beat changes when it changes back.

reflecting on people's performances

There was some good performances while i was listening a particular person i found good was louie on the piano as he made some mistakes but found a way to make them less noticeable and carried on with the rest of the performance.

PLAYED WITHOUT STOPPING,
STEADY TEMPO,
NO MISTAKES IN THE RHYTHM.
WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM THIS?
I can learn to keep going even when making a mistake and to keep the beat steady all the way though the performance and that would make my performance sound better.

A person who i think could improve is lewis as when i was listening he hits the drum to hard a certain parts of the song which could be avoided with a bit more practise and the timing could improve with practice but he was able to keep a straight beat throughout the performance which kept everything in order.(in some of it)
