practice

Today i practiced for 20 minutes. I practiced the chorale which my group will be performing tomorow. I found it tricky to play the bottom notes because there are double notes throughout the piece and it makes it hard to concentrate on either the top or the bottom. I also practiced the first 8 bars of the suite piece by holst. I belive i have to perform it on friday but i know it well now. I also decided to practice fantasia on the dargason. The part where trombones have the melody is the most challenging but i practiced it and now can play it better.

practice 1

I practiced today for 25 minutes. I practiced pirates of the carribean because in class we played it and i enjoyed it alot. I found the beggning to be pretty easy but as the song went along i became challeneged. I then played the first movement of the holst piece. It was my favorite part in class because of all the moving notes so i practiced it. It became good at it and can now play it quite fast. I found the 3rd movement to be the hardes for sure. It has lost of moving notes but they are very fast. I broke them down into smaller parts and then practiced them slowly until i could play them more efficiently.
