Practice Today

So today I only practiced personal music. I played both piano and flute. I practiced my celtic song on flute, which I am continuing to improve upon the more I play it. The rythms are getting much easier for me and I am getting quicker at it too! Once i have all the rythms down I will work on the dynamics of the piece to make it perfect! I also practiced a few scales from the book from class. I find that if I break it down by playing the first note, then the first two notes, then the first three notes etc. (as we did in class) it gets alot easier to play when you play the entire thing at once.

On piano I played my recital piece "Stairway to Heaven", which is really beautiful, but also quite hard. I can only play the intro so far (which is a page long!) but I am getting better. There are some difficult chords but I find if I break it down and play the specific part many times in a row (to drill it into my head), it tends to get easier. I also played the song "My Beloved Monster and Me" from Shrek. It is very easy, but I just enjoy playing it for fun!
