Metronome Clearly Audible? Yes
"Best" Tempo Selection? Yes
Rhythm/Note-values understood? Yes
Rhythms accurate to the click of the metronome? Yes

Overall Rhythm Comments from Timothy:
Super run on the rhythm! Nice groove and the one or two tiny leads were isolated, slight, and you recovered by the next note. Keep tracking!

Correct Melody Notes? Yes
Hole Coverage Good? Yes
Crossing Noises? No
Correct Gracenotes? Yes
Missed Gracenotes? No
Gracenotes Too Big/Sloppy? No

Overall Basic Melody Comments from Timothy:
Wow, this was clean! Nice note to note changes, even in those common trouble spots. One isolated Lift/Drop when you took a breath, but it did not resurface on the repeat. This was a great job all around. Keep at this tune! I think it might be a real winner for you!

On to the next Phase with you! Cheers!

Don’t you just love the sound of a beautifully tuned bagpipe? The full harmonic sound of the drones blended perfectly with the chanter notes. Are you amazed how professional pipers seem to tune easily and get that steady full sound? What if I told you that it’s not just about good tuning?
