Practice Notes

A little over two hours, with the standard set, also focusing on tonalization some, Greensleeves, Ave Maria, Vivaldi's Spring, with less focus than yesterday on the etude--though I did it a few times. Intensified focus on basics earlier on. My general focus was about a seven out of ten, and I noticed it in my bowing before I corrected this. Ave Maria and Greensleeves are coming along very nicely; and, I was impressed with some of the little moves I was able to make on Greensleeves. The Denti is excellent. I hope my instructor isn't too critical.


I discovered on the little challenging rift on the Gavotte that if I add a little upstroke on the bow on the previous measure, that it helps me have better control of the slurs that follow.


I need to remember to print out Ave Maria so I can learn the official version, or rather the version I choose among several.
