Hello,

How perfect does the performance of a study song have to be when submitting it for the Levels of Achievement program? The reason I'm asking is because I've been trying to get 'walk with me' just right from begining to end and sometimes I'll do a near perfect take but right at the end I'll make a mistake or I'll be blowing a note and get just a tiny bit of the note right next to it by accident, or even, in the worst case scenario, one of my reeds will stall right at the end of the song. 

Thanks!

Hello francisco. Strive for

Hello francisco. Strive for excellence, not perfection... some mistakes are bound to happen, and I expect that. The great thing is that all the work you're doing to make the song sound good is making you a much better player (as well as preparing you for performance, if you ever perform this song live).
