For yesterday:

Wednesday 11/26

60 Minutes

Alexander liedown, working tonight with "Batrachomyomachy". Right hand exercise with the first section (bass tone thing - I have a tendency to play the C and G strings with the arm coming down, rather than with the wrist). Then, back to counting all the sections of the piece; stuck on 8's and 7's. I used the metronome to help me cheat, but that missing 3 inthe 7's causes confusion, as do the held eighth notes in the groups of sixteen. I noticed that as I was counting the 7's, I would hold the eighth note in my count, for example:'one...two...three...four...fiveeee...six...seven' etc. I worked on keeping them seperate, and I actually think the time feel is a little better for it.

After this, I worked on F Major triads in the first position, playing and singing the notes as best I was able.
