difference between dynamic markings. markings are neither observed nor obvious to the listener. markings are observed and obvious to the listener, including crescendos and decrescendos. markings are obvious to the listener. The performance shows musical sensitivity. Tone Quality Beginning Playing is tentative with a weak tone. Bow contact and right arm weight need individual attention. Approaching A resonant tone has not been developed or is inconsistent. Correct bow contact point and arm weight need improvement. Meeting Tone is confident and resonant. Right arm weight and bow contact point are appropriate for the style and dynamics of the piece. Exceeding Tone is confident and resonant. Bow contact point and right arm weight are excellent. Correct vibrato motion is used. Part 2 of 2: List goals/objectives that you would like to work on this year (may be included in your portfolio). Be specific. Poor example: a.
