1.  What did you choose to perform and why?

I chose to play, 'Yurima- River Flows In You' because it was the only music piece I remember to play.

My nerves were all over the place and my fingers trembled at every key I pressed. I was very hesitant yet it was a pleasure to play for the class.

     3.  What would you change if you could do it again?

Gather more self-confidence in my performance and enhance the fingering used to play the music piece.
