This is a performance of Handel's Aria con Variazione by Waimea High School senior, Michael Haack on trumpet accompanied by his father Dennis Haack, MD on piano. One variation in jazz was written by Michael's grandfather, Paul Haack, PhD. This performance was part of the Kauai Community College Orchestra Spring 2009 Concert.
you did very wel reading wat was on the sheet of music but you didnt put a whole lot of emotion into it. i played this piece last year for solo and ensemble and i got a superior. you have to put emotion into music when you play because anyone can play wats written after a little practice but its the emotion that turns a good piece into an absolutly amazing piece

I did this piece my freshman year and got a 1 on my performance. I shocked everyone cuz they didn't think a girl could do so well.

@jozzie08 I agree. Its sorta, even with the dynamics, monotone. And he sounds okay, but his tone sounds a little flat, airy and weakish. Play with air and a full sound. Itll sound 1000000x better if you dont sound like youre afraid for anyone to hear you mess up. Play full, no matter the register, and youll kill this song.

Im playing this piece for the United States Marine Corps band audition. Just remember, this is an awesome piece, just think of a goal that you've worked for what feels like a million years, and when you finally got it. Thats the feel that you should have. Keep working and playing and all will go good.

i think that you need a better feel to it, it feels to rigid when you play it
