-+April+6+-+April+16

April 6- The comments on my midterm basically just said to keep up the good work, so what I'm going to do is essentially what I've been doing, but with a metronome in my warmups. I had a productive day today, as I successfully introduced a metronome into my daily warm up routine, and then began work on the first of the resource books that teaches jazz and blues riffs. This went well, and I put a few recordings of my practice in my journal. After this, I was able to practice "The Entertainer" for about ten minutes for the first time in a couple of weeks.

April 8- Yesterday we watched a string quartet and a harm play a variety of pieces. I enjoyed it, and I thought that the musicians themselves were extremely talented. I liked how they played both Beethoven and Guns n' Roses, in order to show that their instruments (generally regarded as confined to classical music) were just as diverse as any other.
