A lot of great things already happening- congrats!

Phrasing is the key- think about where the musical line is headed so that the ends of phrases don't come as an "after thought".
Kind of like shooting a basketball- you know where the hoop is and then figure out your shot rather then just throwing it up in the air (hopefully :lol: ).

We all learn in different ways (visually, aurally, or through movement)- try singing it and conducting it and see how well you can communicate it. At the very least you will learn some valuable skill sets.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

I will focus on identifying and executing phrase in my practice sessions.

I agree with the previous posters - you are off to a good start, strive for a good, relaxed, good tone, and make music (as compared to getting/playing the note). Keep up the good work.
