April 23rd

I practiced for 25mins today. I chose a new study today, the Db concert scale. I chose this scale because I have trouble reading flats because I am frequently only play sharps. This scale went well for me becasue the falts are relatively easy and not that hard to hit. I am 70% fluent with this scale.With a few 3 or 4 more practices these notes should become 100% for me. I also started a new study from the red book today, study No.5. This was a semi-challenging study to start off to play because I have not heard it before and I am not very good at playing eigth notes after dotted quarters. With 4 more practices I should be able to master this because the study is very repetitive. This will help improve my rythm patterns. I the practiced pirates a bit for fun since we have finished all of our band music. I especially practiced bars 96-108 as those are the hardest bars for alto's in the piece.
