On Slowing down
Samantha, my instructor, made an observation during class today: "I play something, then you end up playing it back a little faster, then you play it again even faster." Fantastic observation and its cause, I suppose, is that most everything I do during the day is better if it is done faster: fixing bugs, writing code, running, translating Hindi, etc.
A couple of practice suggestions: - More bow! - Accent the downbeat of each measure to help internalize rhythm of music - Play through concentrating on dynamics in different areas
I feel my rhythm was worse this week since I used the metrenome much less (not at all). Need to make sure I bust it out and least once per song.
Songs I am working on: * Greenwood Tree (completely new, F, F# and G are new notes) * Song of the Wind (work on improving seperation of last F# and E on first measure) * Go Tell Aunt Rhody (dynamics)
