Today I practiced about 40 minutes. I worked on the next chunk in Finzi... fingerings... reviewed up until there, altered a few fingerings in previous sections... sang the opening line in solfege... looked again at what the chords are A Major, D Major, etc... gave words to the big chunks so far... copied a few more lines... listening while doing things.
Decided that September is Finzi 3rd movement... October is Finzi first... November Finzi second... thats a part of a page per day plus reviewing/practicing/memorizing...
I need to make a plan for Bach, and for my third piece... is Kodaly a good idea still? something else? sonata? Wish I could do Fazil Say but I'd need to take my pianist to Florida to do that... sigh.
I think I need to do about two hours a day on audition material... not there yet, but seriously thats what its going to take. Maybe some cello intensive days here and there more like 6 hours... maybe I could rent that studio space I was told about... for me, not for teaching... huh. I like my practice space at home a lot, but there are lots of other things I can do at home!
