Practice This Weekend

This weekend I practiced for an hour and a half in total, but I didn't have time to input it last night (so I am doing it now). I work on personal pieces, band pieces and scales. Scales are improving, especially chromatic scales. I am getting faster and faster as I practice it and am starting to get a hand of the notes. I have been practicing it by playing the first note, then the first two, then the first three etc. I played some band pieces, specifically "Second Suite". The rhythms are a little tricky and high, but they are so repetitive that I am starting to get them. Movements 1 and 4 I find quite easy, but 2 I am struggling with slightly as we have not played it much as a class so I am not sure on all the rhythms. Personal pieces are going well. I have a Celtic flute music book that I am playing through and i really enjoy it. It also helps me with rhythms. I am considering playing one of the pieces in this book for my recital in June.
