Slogan: Plan To Play



Hello Friends,

It has been another long drought here, with no playing or spending any time on my new month of new directions to myself. I have just now looked at the book and figured out what I am going to practice this session (getting sort of short to be a month, lol) and at first I chose 3 pieces that were all both hands together, well we all know that that won't work. I still need to have something to go to and know that if I can't play it right now, with a little practice I am going to just have it down and memorized.



The new slogan is part of a longer one: Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail. It is easily changed to whatever I need to make it work for; its like word art. It is all about not making plans and just going from one thing to the next . . . or not! and then wondering why when I had promised myself that I would play everyday for a year, why I hadn't accomplished this goal. Gee, got me, how could that be?????? Of course, I want to be able to look back over the year and say okay, I learned something from each month and am now adept at it. I have overcome some of my issues that I allowed to control me, and finally, I have accelerated to the next level of harping that I never thot I would accomplish. So far, not so great.



The pieces of music I have chosen for this month are a mix, as it shold be and not all those neat titles that are all too complicated with lots of two hands together all the way thru. I need respite, variety, a sense of accomplishment. So here is my new list:



* Wisteria

* Sean Bui

* Simple Gitfts

* Morning Has Broken

* Rickshaw Ride ~ this is pentatonic, love that sound



I am also going to add a new dimension into the work. I am going to start to do a practice session in the evening, at 6:20-ish, after I have come back from walking Ch'ng. A minimum of 15 minutes, but it can go longer if I want to; lets face it, these days between 6 - 8 PM there i absolutely NOTHING on to distract me so I might as well do the things that I like to . . . O Boy!! I'm Planning To Play, right here in front of everyone. Ha! all my imaginary friends, lol.

Thanks for dropping in,

Meg
