Practice Schudule 5, 6

So this post will be conevring 2 days;

First, yesterday i brought my flute home due to the test today. I spent a fair amount of time perfecting that study and getting it up to a tempo that i liked. I did this by reviewing with the exercise that we sarted Monday in class to get the notes and rhythms back into my head and then i continued t play it gradually increasing the tepo until i liked the speed. once that was accomplished i added in the accents during the 3 bars after the second rest in the study. I found that it took some time to get the accents right because in an effort to m aintain a consistent tempo i would overblow. overall, i felt fairly confident going into the playing test today. After that was accomplished i ran the band pieces once each - practicing for a total of about 15minutes.

Tonight i started off by running through the test study as a warm up and ran through some of the chromatic scales, beginning to work on scales 3 and 4 - getting comftorable with the key and being able to play with fluidity. After that i went over some of the 'problem areas" in the band pieces
They were;
measure 147 onward (the fuege) in light eternal to review the notes and get it up to correct tempo one again
and measure 205 to the end in rumble because i still have trouble doing the end scale thing up to the c - i always either come in a hair early or leave it too late. i think i fixed the timing on those 2 bars though.
I feel fairly comftorble with those areas now and am lookig forward to playing in music fest!
