Student comments

• I think you should change 'CHOSEN' to 'CHOOSE'

• I don't understand what you mean by extremely well. I know the meaning of it. But I feel this adverb is too affirmative. Conductors are learning pieces as well.

Peer Learning• Maybe you can use

"concern" instead of "consider" it has lots = there are lots of difficulties informations = information

• I think you also need write something about how this piece make you feel, not only introduce a piece.
