Next Practice Session?

We need to plan our practice session. Filipiniana Day is approaching quickly! We do not want to look like fools when we can't do those fast notes Rosas Pandan!

I was thinking Thursday after school, if not then Tuesday. Which do you prefer? Decisions made as quickly as possible are best (: See you then.

Review on Practice Session 2

All right, so as scheduled, the second practice session took place on September 30. We managed to get more practice than the last one, and for the record, Arcee joined this one, so yay! Since we didn't want to get stuck with the tiny practice rooms, in the end we opted for the changing rooms, which thankfully, no one was using at the time.

Key points we worked on were the faster passages in Pirates of the Caribbean, Walzer and Rosas Pandan. Mr. Ibero told us to work on our intonation for Hungarian Dance no. 6, so that's what we'll be working on this week. Hmm...what else? Our spiccatos are at least more synchronized than before, which is good, but we still have a long way to go. At least the concert is in December, although if I remember correctly we have an in-class one this week.

Finally fixed my copy's bowings for Pirates...haha, sorry 'bout that, Anna. If anyone else has something to add, feel free, otherwise, ciao for now!

Any thoughts on the schedule for the third practice session?

P.S. Must work on spiccato for the next scale pass-off! G major sounded okay for the most part, but Arcee, you gotta ask when you're not sure, otherwise you'll continue to have trouble. Just tell us so we can help you!
