Feedback from team leader

You might be wondering why this is posted days before this is due, but I've been having some technical difficulties. I lost the file she wrote her comments on after trying to clean up my hard drive space, and couldn't contact her for a while as she was out of town. Been having a slightly unstable internet, too. It probably can be fixed, but the blog might be empty for a while more.
Here's her comments about the very first performance, though:


about your performance :

 • you have actually participated more by choosing songs and tried to
 coordinate with other team members for a compromise and you have come up
 with a chosen song

 •  I noticed that you have listened more to other parts of the music and
 tried to fit in wherever is appropriate. The limitation is that the songs
 has little parts for drums unless we add in more on our own.

 • more coordination and compromise and communications are needed on site and
 before practice

More Feedback

I actually do take lessons for playing drumset after school once a week, so I figured I'd ask my teacher about how I have improved in the last year. His written response was in Chinese, which would probably not work well on this blog. However, I've roughly translated his comments, albeit in bullet point form, with the closing comment in a sentence underneath. It's brief, but it's long enough to show his opinion:
  • Positive attitude, willing to learn.
  • Actively engages and tries to improve in playing songs
  • Attentive and focused.
  • Satisfactory progress in learning.
  • Suggestions: Practice more at home.
  • Suggestions: Listen to more songs and music to improve sense of rhythm and skill in fill-in segments
  • Practice and try to improve hand-eye coordination and rhythm/speed
