So tonight i started out by running through the chromatic scales as a warm up, i can now comftroably play almost the whole page; just a few minor problem places here and there but its much better than the beginning of the semester.
after that i ran thorugh some of the chorales from the purple book, some from class some not as well as some of the studies from the red book we have specifically looking at study number 4 from class and its accompanyment.
Then i ran through the holst suite for the test tomorrow.
i as planning on playing section 2 ofthe first movement as my difficult 8 bars but praciced them and can now play thme fine since i was only having trouble with the high Aflat, however im stull not wuite getting the articluation pattern with the slurs, so i can still do some work there and ran through the set of good 8 bars a couple times. Then i played the whole suite with the recording. I enjoyed this as a nice challenge because they have a quicker tempo and it forces me to really focus on the articluation paterns as well as work on quick finger movements which will help when we take it at a bit of a slower tempo with band.
Following that i ran through the other band rep before band tomorrow morning just as a refresher and something fun to do. I find that all of the trouble spots i had at the beginning of the semester with light eternal and rumble are gone now and that i am quite comftorable playing the whole thing.
I finished off the night running through my chamber choir rep. for tomorrow, going through the memory work etc. and that was it for my practicing:)
