Practice Blog #17

So after kiwanis last night i came home and did a bit of parcticing.
I started off doing some of the scale tudies from the purple book. I worked on the chorales in minor key signatures and then did some work on the chromatic scale at the back of the book and ran through the chromatic scale study on page 9.
then i moved on to teh red book and did some of the studies from there starting with 4.2 and working up from there, looking specificlly at studies with more difficult rhythms working on my sightreading skills.
after that i moved on to the blue book working through some of the songs at the back of the book as well as revisiting the rhythm study at the back. I found that this was somewhat difficult at frst because i hadn't done it in a while and had to think through the timing of some of the bars first.
After that i ran though the light eternal and rumble on the high plains in preparation for wednesdays challenge class. I didn't really feel like running the holst since we just played it haha, i thought that we deserved at least a silver in A class since i thought we played the suite better than Beal did but thats okay. I was also expecting medway to get a gold but...
anyway thats about it, prcticed for a total of about 40mins.
