Solo with Audacity

After practicing my flute solo for several days with out the piano accompaniment, i downloaded audacity and realized the tempo was too fast, so i slowed it down. I need to practice the piece slowly and then build up speed each time, to reach near the original tempo. I still had some difficulties. I usually can play okay until bar 17, with the high f and e. I am getting better at joining the notes together, but it could still be faster and smoother. At bars 27 and 31, with the sfz it is coming better. My dynamics are coming nicely and i am beginning to show more contrast between sections with dynamics. I understand the rhythm now and i count 1+2+ throughout the piece to help me stay on beat. Overall, today was a successful day and i think i am really improving by practicing as much as possible.
