Kathy,
Please don't be insulted. Experienced people see mistakes we make. That's g=
ood for us! Even if they were wrong, it might start some reflection in us t=
hat turns out beneficial.
Another example: (=E0 propos improvement) how about spending your time stud=
ying music rather than editing videos?
You don't need to take the effort of uploading if the footage is meant for =
your self-analytical purposes alone.
Dan Leeson's critique was very polite and actually very kind in trying to h=
elp you, a certain strictness is productive and he's entitled to it as he i=
s so much older than you and did not waste his time recording and watching =
himself zillion times. He actually researched how Mozart should be played. =
If you follow his example he might one day be delighted to be criticized by=
you (like for example by pointing out that he used historically inapt inst=
ruments, who knows=85).
Please do yourself a favour and think about that. =
Best =
