Españoletas

I've memorized Españoletas and Miami to an extent...I will go over it a few times in the morning to try and solidify it.

Memorizing Miami and Espanoleta

It takes a lot longer to memorize a song than to learn how to play it, I spent an hour memorizing the first to lines to Miami yesterday. I am still perfecting them. My method is to use a sheet of paper to cover the rest of the lines and focusing one one measure at a time.

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.

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.
