I practised today!!

I practiced for 15 minutes today. I devoted the first 8 minutes to working on the first 4 Chromatic Excercises. By far the easiest to play were number 1 and number 3. I'm still having trouble with the excercises with sharps. I practiced very slowly at first, and gradually sped up. It's not perfect, but they are sounding a lot better than when I first started.

For the last 7 minutes I practiced some scales annd their Skill building components. So far I have had no problems with the scales of B flat maj, G min, E flat maj, or C min. The only thing that I need to work on with those scales are their Scale Skills, which I again started off slow, and gradually sped up (the E flat and C scale skills were the only ones I needed to do this for)

I'm not to surprised I got so much done in such a short time period, since I've worked on them in class as well. But I think I'm doing much better at the Chromatic Scales. I only wish my flute would co-operate, I'm loosing a battle with it's evil sticky keys.
