April 5th

I practiced for 30mins today. I started off practicing the F concert for 10mins. I can play majority of the notes all ready because I have played the notes numerous times with the bad pieces. With a few more practices those notes should become 100% fluent for me! I then practiced the 4th and 5th chromatic scales to further increase my fluency with notes. I have majority of the notes down but will continue to practice the scales until the are second nature for me. I then practiced Holst for 15mins. First I practiced H to the end in the First movement. I slowed down the tempo for 5mins, really working on my noted and slurs, then I played it up to speed for 5mins to help me master the section. I then went over part E to G in the 4th movement. I really slowed down the tempo and worked on the notes and rythmes to master this very difficult section. With a few more practices at home and at school I will have mastered this section.
