The girl with the recorder/piano combination was great. Unfortunately, I can barely hear her as well as the others from this website. All my volumes are up full blast as I quickly realized when I went to a non-musicnotes site that had an abundance of sound. }:-)

I thought the performances were done very well. I would suggest moving with the music more. Every person has a different way of playing so it is very hard to judge others. I know from experience it is allot harder to get the mood acrossed when preforming becasue of nerves. So good job to all fo you!

Good Day,

I am friends with, and work with wonderful artists; Jackson Berkey, founding member and pianist of Mannheim Steamroller, Phillip Keveren, Melody Bober and Hollywood actors who support music education. I know talent and this is where it starts. This site is another great motivator for these musicians, and it’s fun! Regardless of the winner(s), the effort of each entrant should be applauded. Congratulations to Musicnotes.com.

I gave five stars each to Renee playing Bunessan and to the person playing Danny Boy. Both of them touched me.

Also, I understand how the sound of accoustic pianos doesn’t transfer well through recordings.

Congratulations to each person for the courage to perform.

Some have commented on out – tune pianos. The acoustic piano sound is notoriously difficult to get across satisfactorily in a recording. To the people playing in there own homes their piano sound was okay. ( I know this from experience ). Just a general comment I felt I should add.

I thought the DANNY BOY, with piano and strings, was very nicely and accurately played: Played in an understated style. I personally would have liked a little more light and shade, but for all that, very very nice.
