Day #9

Today: 35 min.
Worked on: Easy shifting exercises in the positions book for warm-up.  Reviewed NSO pieces and then played Suzuki Book 4 for fun.

Off to trivia...

Glad to get in practice between work and more work...came home for an hour with the sole purpose of practicing before having to go back for a parent meeting.  Glad I did!

Feeling:
Tired.  Didn't practice until after 10 PM, and sore sore sore from tubing yesterday.  Most awkward practice day....although 5 good days out of 6 ain't bad.  Also in search of a sad song...Runt is near death.  I think he'll be gone by morning. :(

Day #4

4 days strong!  Had a filling dinner at Tapalpa and came home and practiced.  I feel that even when I am busy or tired, if I can fit in practice, I can then fit in practice every day.

30 min. practiced

Worked on:

Songs for Sept. 11 Northbrook Concert
"Give me your tired, your poor" - worked on 16th note passages, speedwork with metronome.
Feeling:
Nose is stuffy.

Day #3

Almost didn't practice today.  Came home from school and napped for 1.5 hours before having to go back to work at 5:00.  Got home again at 9, ate dinner, and practiced from 9:30-9:50.  Way better than doing nothing.


Today:
Practiced 20 minutes.  Did 3 octave scales and worked through the super high ledger line notes.
Feeling:
Relaxed.  High notes were right there; feeling more confident about them than I have in a while.


Thanks to the hubby who encouraged me to keep this up.
