=**my goals for the 2012-2013 year** :)=

1. I **want to get 6th chair at regionals.** to do this i can improve my tone and work harder on my pieces. I feel that last year i was very unprepared and didnt practice as much much as i could have. 2. **Learn how to play the tuba.** I wish to be a great musican and learning a new instrument will help. I wish to be able to play all my concert band music by the concerts and know the fingerings off the top of my head. 3. I **want to have more confidence when i play.** Confidence will help in all aspects of my musical career. In order to get better chair placement i need to have confidence. (see goal 1) Also it will help me be a better musicaian during SWE by playing out when i know a part and not to shy away.

These are good goals for you! I'm glad you are striving to be a great musician! That's what it's all about. Confidence will grow stronger as you continue to develop your skills!! Keep up the good work and keep practicing!!
