Practice schudule #21

So i practiced breifly just before i came in to work here tonight,
Started out with some scales and stuff just as a warm up and then played through their relative minors still working on being able to ID key signatures with relative ease; especially in prep for doing orchestrations next year.
Then i ran through study #4 in the red book just as a refresher, and to work on getting quick articulation going.
Then i rna through the band pieces specifically focussing on counting the 5/4 section in chillers and thriller because i find that i always come in a beat eraly or a beat late. Then i looked at the monotonous section in Carmina Burana and just worked out counting out how many times we repeat because i find myself either falling inot a pattern and not counting at all or just simply getting lost in the music; either way it always comes as a surprise to me when we switch over to the other secion. I played them through once each and then i had to leave for work.
about a half hour overall.
planning on practicing some more this long weekend!
