1=#N should develop #h keyboard skills so that #h understanding of and ability to use music technology can improve. Better keyboard skills will also allow for greater understanding of music theory such as chords and will benefit #N in semester 2.
2=#N has been a committed member of #grade8projects and I hope #e has been enjoying this. #E should continue to come to rehearsals in semester 2 as we have a lot of exciting performing opportunities in the coming months.
3=#N should consider joining #AOC as this will help develop #h ensemble skills and confidence when performing.
4=#N should consider having instrument lessons as this will help develop #h skills and understanding further.
5=#N has struggled with some aspects of music but always tries hard to achieve the unit objectives. I hope #e will continue to try hard in semester 2.
