Slogan: Challenge Myself, Enjoy the Moment

Hye folks,
I have been working on things and not getting back to the blog for any uupdates. Part of the problem is that I am trying to stay away from being online so much. I see it as an addiction that distracts me from doing any actual work. It also seems that when I don't have the TV on in the morning, I am not as inclined to be around the computer either.

Anyway, this is supposed to be about the harp not other parts of my life.

I went thru the monthly lists of music I've created for the blog and come up with 18 individual pieces, not including Christmas, that I have chosen over the year and few of them are at the point of being as good as I would like them. Could I sit down and play each evenly, play the music not the notes? NO. Could I play all without music? NO. Do I have two handed playing under control? NO. Those are pretty big questions that I don't believe I have a good handle on. So, this month I want to try going thru the songs at least once to see how accomplished I am in each. If I have some that I feel confident in and don't need to continue working every day then I'll put them aside and practice the ones that need more work.

Doing scales for a warm-up is a good workout. That would give me a place to sart, working in glissandos, triads, cross-overs, etc. Next, do each piece in easy/hard combinations once thru to check on my skill in them. I'll have to work in this manner for a day or two and try to discover what needs the most work on to improve so that I have a good selection that I can play at the same skill level.

Gotta go now and find all the music I need for the month in progress.

Cheers, Meg
