Day 8-getting into a routine

It's a good thing that the voice recorder was cheap, because it wasn't built to last. Or maybe a two-year-old is very destructive. Hmmm...a button cover fell off today.

Figured since on the sidebar it said 4 octave C major scale, well it's time to record it. (Writing things down tends to make people accountable.)

Went superb. Intonation fantastic and just just one slightly bumpy shift coming back down on the A string. Not bad...

Next on the agenda is the Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. It's a great piece and not played too often. Rhythm is not good yet. Even after a 45-minute practice session.

Have to get into the habit of practicing regularly with a metronome. I can handle electronic equipment since starting ten years ago, practiced with tuner pitches over a period of two years. And it really helped. Like friend and blog reader Anna said, you start to know how it's going to sound before the playback. Intonation yes. Dotted rhythms not yet.

Now off to play a Groovy Magnificat. (see link in previous post)

Bye!

(Update: Realized on the mortning of November 9 that I accidently labeled this day 7 and it was day 8. Though now it'll appear on the 9th. Such is life...)
