Piano-Ana

hey there sorry i haven't been posting as frequently but i did practice for a full hour last thursday. Cally was able to help me out on some problems i had with the intervals. I am proud to say that i am getting closer to reaching my goal of fully reading music without the letters printed on the notes. For now i am trying to play soft and lound music.

I forgot to mention I worked on my left hand using the class book!
Thanks!

I did my full hour of practicing tonight. I helped Anna with some questions she had, played her 2 songs from my own piano book from home. Then I played on my own some songs from my book that I havn't learned yet, practiced my left hand trying to make it stronger and smoother like my right, and I played some scales! Do you have some scales I could play as a warm up when I practice?

I practiced tonight for 40 minutes. I started at 7:15 and ended at 7:55! I played for you a piece from the class book and a piano book I brought from home (Beauty and The Beast). I also asked you for help in understanding major vs. minor, and a question on hand positioning. I understand both much better now. Thank You!

I have not been doing to well at recording when I practiced! Thought I should mention for this week, so far I practiced 20 minutes on Monday night, and am planning on doing the last 40 minutes tonight. I am trying to go more than 1 night a week to practice on my own, because I know you said that is a good way to get better!

I just realized I forgot to record the rest of my practice for last week! I practiced for 45 minutes in the piano room on Thursday, February 5, 2009. You were in their while I practiced. I played for you as well, and you gave me great advice on working with the left hand.

I practiced today for 20 (7:40PM- 8:00PM) minutes. I warmed up with some scales and some songs I know by heart and skimmed through the class book and played some songs (some easy and some more difficult). I also worked on my hand positioning, but made sure I stay relaxed like you advised!
