Practice 22, 23, 24

Soo this is going to be a long one since its for the whole weeek;
i woud practice then get really busy and never got around to blogging.

Monday!
monday night i brought my flute home with me and practiced for the band exam requirements; i wasnt aware that we had to play both sections so i wonly practiced bars 43-55 in chillers and thrillers. Then i ran through my usual stuff such as the chromatics and scles etc. as well as the stuff for the chamber ensemble. We had 3 of our 4 songs picked out at that point in time to i ran through those 3 and then went through the rest of the book looking for what other song we could play as our fourth. That was about it; priacticed for a total of 15-20minutes on monday.

Tuesday!
my flute was at home still since i was on a field trip during the day; i went through what i had rehersed the day before and finally decidecd on a fourth song with my group so i practiced that as well. i went over the band requirements again and then i wasnt relly in the mood to do scales and such so i played through a few ofthem but then i went back and played through some of our older band rep for fun since we dont have tuesday and thursday for that anymore. I also began rehersing some of the class exam stuff too; i find that i am having some difficulty with the study in the red book because it has a lot of awkwadr rhythms; and im not sure of the tempo. im hoping that we will ply it together as a class once so that we can hear it and feel the speed you want it to go at. I also ran though the chromatics and dont find them too hard its just keeping a consistent flow from scale to scale that can be somewhat tricky. After that i stopped for the night practicing a total of about 40mins.

Wednesday!
Wednesday we had coffee house so i didnt get a chance to do any extensive practice. For the record, i thought coffee house went really well despite the length i think it was a nice way to end the year.
Ps. played the band exam today; unaware that we had to play both sections so i was really prepared for the first part but not so much for the second part. The rhythms in the second section are really easy except for the one bar which i cant play to save my life no matter how many times i tried it. Overall, i think it went decently though.

Thursday!
So for thursday i mainly focussed on playing the stuff for our class exam. I started out doing the E minor scale in thirds and learning that ascending and descending which i find to be fairly easy aside from the D sharp which i sometimes miss; im going to work some more on that until its really solid. Then i moved onto the chromatic stuff, i find most of the patterns really easy to play aside from the odd 1 such as ascending number 3 which i stumble over sometimes. Then i moved onto the study which i still have trouble with because of the awkward patterns//im not sure if im playing it right? ill ask you on monday to play it as a class just to ensure things such as the tempo etc. Aside from that im feeling fairly comftorable for the class exam; i dont think it will be too bad never theless im still going to continue practicing all this weekend//next week to be sure that everything is solid when i go to play. Total of about 40minutes thursday night.
