Thanks to all who commented so far to this video! I appreciate all your suggestions and I´m glad that you all take the time to share your knowledge with me and help me improving my playing.

did you heard about something like chm... dynamics... or expressing feelings when you play or something...?

[theblackcomp111]

play it like you mean it

[rasenqan]

its not challenging concerning technique...its challenging playing this musically.. look at this watch?v=VFBB2gu9nlY&feature=re­lated she misses some tones, but thats not really bad because she plays it with her heart,

I took this solo to State and earned a superior- if you'd like, there's a video of my performance on my channel .. Note wise- you missed a few here and there, but like most people have said you need to add some emotion, especially in the cantable section, don't be afraid to connect the notes a bit more, play with the dynamics and also you're allowed to 'stretch' time in there. Technique wise, you're stiff. Try lowering your elbows, 4-mallet should mainly be wrist movement.

needs softer mallets

[alsdkj100]

You seem a little stiff. Relax and have fun with it.

Dynamics? And performance...I play on a vibe and I do better :/ Wow you suck

[TheMrDill]

Her mallets are fine. What you are hearing are the acoustics of room. The sound is dying. And this piece is not too hard for her. Its perfect. She's not struggling with notes or rhythm so i see no problem in playing it.

Suggestions:

-like everyone else said, loosen up, get into the piece, get emotional, it will show in your playing and dynamics.

-Experiment with tempo (not to much) and dynamics. Stretching in and out in certain places (like the roll section) Think of an accordion.

Well Done!

@bioserfe How can you tell? kuz she hasnt perfected something in the piece yet?

[bioserfe]

That's too difficult for you!

[bioserfe]

I think, the dynamic isn't very good.
