Practice this weekend

So today and yesterday I practiced a total of 40 minutes, 20 minutes each day. I played the first movement of Holst, mainly the ending where there is a key change. I also, as always, played my celtic music. The Holst is going well, it's just getting the high A flats and being able to play it all at a fast pace. I am playing through it slowly and starting to get it, but it is challenging. It goes so fast that your fingers are flying and getting that high A flat is a real challenge for me. But hopefully , as i continue to play through it slowly, it will improve!

My celtic song is coming along nicely. I basically have the rythms down, now I just need to work on dynamics, accents etc. It is a very prettys ong and I think it will be very nice for the recital.

I also played through my "stairway to heaven" which is getting easier as i play it. For now i am mainly working on just getting the notes and rythms down, and then i will concentrate on dynamics, phrasing etc.

I also played "hallelujah" (from shrek) on piano. This is a very basic song but I love playing it because of how beautful the melody is!
