Eight

Today, I practiced for the playing exam tomorrow. I am ready to play although it seems that not matter how much I push through the study I still cannot play it through without a mistake.

I also played through the four songs my group is playing for the quartet project, they all sound really good as a group. I am very confident that we will do well during our presentation. We have been using our time effectivly in class by setting dynamics and balance in our pieces

Seven

Today, I practiced for 30 minutes. I worked on the requirements for our upcoming playing exam. The cromatic scales are not hard for me anymore. Since I worked on them through out the year they are simpler to learn and study now. 

The D major scale (harmonic) is still challenging so I will have to pay attention to it tomorrow when I practice as well. I think it is only difficult because of the accidentals.

Also study #8 in the Arban Klose book is awkward and I am not sure how the rythmn goes or the tempo. Many of us are confused and unsure about it.
