May 25th- June 8th

I havnt blogged over the last 2weeks but I have practiced. I practiced 4-5times I cant remember which. When I practiced during these times it was around 25mins. I started off always by practicing my chromatic scales for 10mins. These went pretty well but started off a little rough but by the end I was almost 100% fluent with them. These scales also helped me with my scale study's because they helped me broaden my note range and fluency.They especially helped me read my flat notes as that is a weakness I have. I chose and practiced the E Minor concert scale. I practiced this for around 8mins each time. At first I was o.k. at this scale but by the end I mastered majority of this scale. This scale also helped me increase my accidental, note fluency and my lower register as that is one of my major weaknesses. I then practiced my scale study from the red book for the remaining time. This study did not really teach me new notes and was relatively easy for me but it really helped me with my ties and my rythms. This scale really helped me with my overall playing ability. That was what I practiced for the last 2 weeks.
