Day 4 9/29

Day 4, I went back over the song "What can I share". After playing that a few times, I started to look at a song called "Why am I blue?". This piece was a little more difficult because it required me to use the black keys (B flat and F sharp). I like the feel of this piece. I will have to work on it more, but I think that I might use it for the recital.

Day 3 9/22

Day 3 of practice went well. I am doing better playing with both hands at the same time. I worked on the song "What Can I Share". I thought that this was a really pretty piece. I felt that if i were teaching an elementary class I would teach this to my students. I wanted to play it for the recital, but I think it may be too short. Overall, I left this practice feeling very positive.

Day 4: September 29

I was extremely impressed with myself this week at piano. I started to look at "My Immortal" last week and it scared me because of how difficult the piece looked. This week, I attempted to sit and try to decode it to the best of my ability and surprisingly, I have the entire opening done. It was difficult for me to work on two hands with two different rhythms but I managed to get the hang of it. Also, there are three sharps in the treble cleft and 2 flats in the bass cleft so it took me a while to figure out what note gets raised and lowered and to carry it through the staff. I think from now on, I will work on that piece and here and there I might refer back to the beginner book to refresh some of my skills. :)
