Practice 11/10

I practiced Espanolitas, Excersise 10, and Miami with the metronome today

Españolita

I practiced Españolita for an hour yesterday, I found it difficult to practice with a metronome because I had a hard time figuring out how to count the dotted quarter notes and eighth notes. I also reviewed Andante, Exercise 10, and the Waltz.

Practiced exercise 10 and andante today with the metronome. Progress is good.

Exercise 10

I practiced exercise 10 with the metronome at 80 sixteenth notes per minute. I tried practicing the piece backwards and this new way of practicing helped to smooth out some of the rough parts of the piece. I practiced for about 45 minutes and I feel like I am making good progress.

Excersise 10

I practiced exercise 10 with the metronome at 80 bpm, It is tough to stay on tempo but i'm improving

Aguado

I have found excersise no. 10 (aguado) to be a pretty difficult piece to master. There are a lot more notes and the fingerings are strange, for example in the second measure the piece has me play e on the b string and then the open high e string right after rather than just hitting the open high e string twice. I am struggling through the first few phrases now and I hope I can have the whole piece by the end of the week.

Andante

I practiced Andante today, the piece is significantly more difficult than the Waltz but with enough practice I will be alright
