How to Conduct a Detailed Review​

A Detailed Review provides in-depth feedback by attaching specific comments to exact measures or passages using Weefeen’s interactive score feature. This approach allows performers to focus on key performance areas with precise, actionable guidance.

Reviewers help performers improve by providing clear, detailed feedback tied to specific measures, making it easier to address critical areas effectively.

  • Respond to the Performer's Request Details: Start by reviewing the performer's Request Details to understand their background, objectives (e.g., exam, competition), and focus areas. Tailor your feedback to meet these goals.

  • Attach Comments to Specific Measures or Passages: Use Weefeen’s interactive score feature to tag relevant measures or passages. Address aspects like tempo, articulation, dynamics, accuracy, or any other relevant factors.

Example of a Detailed Review

Below is an example of how a Detailed Review should look.

  • Begin with a brief General Summary: Provide an overview of the performance, noting key strengths and areas for improvement. This sets the stage for more detailed, specific feedback.

  • Provide Specific Comments Throughout the Score: The main focus of a Detailed Review is to attach precise comments to exact measures or passages. This helps the performer make sure they are not missing anything and gain a deep understanding of the feedback, with concrete examples that clarify what was explained in the general comments.

    Why Specific Comments Are Important:

    • Clarity: By pinpointing exact locations, you guide the performer step-by-step, making your feedback easy to follow.
    • Deep Listening: The performer can replay specific passages and fully absorb your feedback, ensuring a deeper understanding of your suggestions.
    • Effective Learning: Detailed comments help the performer translate your insights into concrete improvements during practice, making the feedback more actionable.

By offering specific, actionable feedback, you help the performer develop their ear and improve their technique more efficiently.
