When you’re watching the video, you see the parts that you should be prepared, which makes you think, oh wait, I don’t sound as great as I thought. And then in the video you see the little parts that you’re not doing so great at and see the parts you have to really practice. Honoko: No, when you’re playing, you feel like you’re doing great and you kind of are. Now how did you feel watching the video afterwards? Did you sound the same way that you thought you sounded? It’s like there’s two perspectives looking at you, which just makes me really nervous because it’s not just one perspective or one person who’s looking at you.
Then you’re goning to have to see yourself doing it later on. Honoko: That just made me feel really nervous because with video recordings, you know that someone’s looking at you, for example, the person who’s taking the video and there is a phone that’s taking the video to. So you did video recordings of yourself? How’d that work? Also my teachers at school, they were telling me, “Why don’t you record yourself?” or “Why don’t you try playing in front of a mirror? So that you can see yourself playing and that you can be confident about yourself.” Those are the things I did to prepare for my nervousness and things. Honoko: Detailed parts which kind of made the solo piece sound cool. Jason: You mean that you looked at really detailed, small things? Honoko: Well my teacher, my private teacher Michael, he prepared me for like the smallest dynamics himself, which made me think about the solo piece really specifically. Can you tell me a little bit about the things that you did to get ready? Because you obviously did well, so there must have been something about what you did that help you get that 28 out of 28. So now, you will be even more prepared next time. Do you think you’ll be a lot less nervous next time because you know how it goes? So, do you think you were nervous because it was the first time that you did it? It was a new experience. It was my first time in NYSSMA, so I didn’t really know how it was goning to go, but I think I did pretty well than I thought I would do, which made me really happy and proud of myself. Right, how did you feel? Were you nervous or excited? Jason: Apparently it went well because you’ve got such a good score. That’s how it was, that was basically it. Then the instructor gave me a sight reading paper and so I had to sight read that with the perfect rhythm. Honoko: Well, first I had to perform my solo piece, which I think it went pretty nicely and I was proud.
Well, tell me a little bit about the process, like how did it go? What was your experience at the NYSSMA evaluation? the criterias of the NYSSMA was the tone, the intonation, that technique, accuracy, interpretation, the scales and the sight reading. Do you want to remind everyone on the ways in which you were graded?

Honoko: I got a full score of 28 out of 28 from my NYSSMA. Jason: Would you like to tell our friends out there? On what you did on your NYSSMA? Jason: Honoko, welcome! We’re honoring you with a student of the month because I heard you done some really great things with your NYSSMA audition.
