Practice Notes (Weekend Summary)

Two hours plus each Saturday and Sunday. Had real good sessions, with intensive focus on bowing, slowing down and working on tonalization. Played all music, including first two in volume two. Learned Greensleevs very quickly in two octaves. Worked a little (very litte) on Ave Maria, deciding which versions to go with--I think all of them. My hand is tired, but seems to be improving--used a lot of heat, and rests. I used the metrononme on the Gavotte, the second etude, and some more songs--I'm gonna like this metrononme. Before, way before, I never really mastered using the metrononme however now it's coming pretty quickly. Life for those who are truly alive is often a thousand hindsights!
