Piano Lesson

A few minutes late again, and not enough practice, again.

• Scale and chords in D. This is like starting over again. Everything was going great when the chords were in the RH. Now they’re not. Grrr. More practice needed.
• Mach p460 Campdown Races in D, all chord positions. We only did root and 1st inversion. That was pretty bad, so G- didn’t push the issue. More practice needed.
• Mach p462 Streets of Laredo in G (new). Lots of movement between chords, with the addition of Am and D7 in a couple of inversions. This one is to be played with block chords as annotated. Practice in chunks.
• Mach p296 The Highlands. Went well. Done.
• Mach p297 Distant Horns (new). With pedal. RH is stationary while LH crosses over it.
• Indigo – S- played the A section, and I played the B, and crashed and burned. I was so, so, so unprepared to play the B section, especially unfortunate because I can play A pretty well. Sigh. More practice needed.
• Clementi. Reprieve – we didn’t get to it. Whew. More practice needed.
