Recording two variations today. It is challenging enough to make a recording of one variation that qualifies as blog-worthy. Even then, you take what you can get sometimes when you’re blogging about everyday practice, on a daily basis.
It is more intimidating to record anything than it is to just play it by yourself. I’m just practicing going from one variation to the next here, with the added stressor of having the camera rolling. I can tell the nerves are there, but the transition wasn’t a as bad as it could be.

I created this blog to share what I learn while practice, but also because something strange happened with my old blog and it started following people I had no idea about. I’m back up here.

I felt that this was better than yesterday’s recording. Improvement, I guess.
I know the melody needs to be more legato. Especially in the consecutive eighth note parts.
This is from today’s faculty recital I played on at GCSC. Corranda by Agustí Grau. I think overall that my default right hand position could be closer to the sound hole. I’m glad my student sent me these videos so I could catch that.

Working on memory here. Pavan no 3 by Milan. I have all the notes in my head, but I sometimes skip a section or do a wonky repeat at times. Memory has been a challenge this past year. I suspect it has to do with the extremely slow recovery post hurricane Michael.

Memory practice/challenge. Video 1
Just trying pay through the piece without stopping, without fixing buzz notes and other things. As long as it sounds halfway decent. Only focusing on the order and sections of the piece. If it’s all pretty much in order, that is the goal.

Want please with my playing so I sat on this recording for a couple of days.
Aerial photos show the devastation left in the path of Hurricane Michael
Florida’s Panhandle took stock on Thursday of the hammering destruction wrought by Hurricane Michael, with homes obliterated or reduced to rubble and power lines and trees ripped up by the third most powerful storm ever to strike the U.S. mainland.

Day 11
Feeling kind of sick, like I’m coming down with something. I hope this is not the case, but I really feel very weak and my throat is a little bit sore.
This is an excerpt from Harold Blanchard’s Innocent Meandering. I only listened once, and the recording itself seemed a little bit buzzy, as if I had distortion turned on or something. Maybe one day I’ll learn how to make a better recording with this telephone.
