Counting

I am having to go verrry slow with the counting. The song actually makes more sense when I say "one ee and uh"... but after I counted for the 16th notes and got to something different I realized that I cannot count for those either! gah! So progress is slow...but things are making more sense =)

I forgot to write in my blog after I practiced and I just now remembered! eek!

I am still having trouble with the timing of the notes, especially when there is a mix of notes that all have a different count. Other than that, I think I am getting a little more comfortable with the part of the piece I am practicing. I can play what I have for you tonight at class. I had trouble figuring out the fingering for a couple of chords also.

See you at class!

F-major?

I need help playing the Fmajor scale (if thats even what its called). i don't know how to play an octave. other than that, i am counting out loud while i'm practicing, which is really helping. i have to play slower, but it sounds better. i tried the other, not-baby, version of pachabel's canon. and its really hard, so i'm going to take that one super slowwww. i'm still learning the baby version thats in the book we're using. but i've made some progress on that at least. i guess i'll play what i can for you tomorrow
