Day #2

Day #2 of the 21 day challenge.  Believe it or not, I almost didn't practice today, and it's the second day, sheesh.  Fortunately, some plans I THOUGHT I had fell through, and opened up the evening to practice.  Whee.

Today:

35 min. practiced

Worked on:

Songs for Sept. 11 Northbrook Concert
"Grand Canyon Suite" and "Festival Prelude."  Grand Canyon Suite has lots of sequences and super high notes.  Found my tritones and learned the notes.  Worked out some good fingering.
Feeling:
Relaxed; a little tired.

Day #1

I'm attempting to begin the 21-day challenge, so might as well blog about it while I go along.

It takes 21 days (in a row) to create a habit, so I'd like to get into that habit regarding violin practice.

Today:

45 min. practiced

Worked on:

Songs for Sept. 11 Northbrook Concert
"Noel," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "The Vacant Chair."
Practiced with metronome with focus on clean shifting. 
Feeling:
Relaxed, despite a stuffy nose.  E string notes sounding pretty.
