Practise 5

I find the whole second suite to be very easy. I ran through the 3 movements (2 for me 1rst and 4th) without any problems. I've been more interested in the piano lately so I've been sight reading songs out of the standard of excellence book. I went through lines 70-100 in around 15 minutes. I went back to the drumset for about a half hour of my own songs (mostly Blink 182 and my band). Endourance is something I could work on. I find myself hitting too hard and that tires me out during afast song and when i play softly I find myself becoming lazy and slowing down. It's just a matter of concentration. I'm currently working on learning accidents by Alexisonfire on the piano (by ear). I would like to be able to play it by next week. Today was a good long practise... makes up for all the practise i did on the break (none) :).

Practise #4

Since music fest is comming up all I worked on was band peices. Mostly Rumble because it's the newest song and probebly the most important peice I play. The Light Eternal can be preformed without any mistakes (easily) I still ran through it twice imagining the tune in my head (and the tempo). Rumble Is pretty much there! There are some sections where I need to worry about tempo, I seem to rush the song sometimes (It gets exciting). Finished off with some drumset tunes with music.

I messed up... :(
