Wednesday 22nd - Part 2

Went for a walk along the beach, listened to my new Brecker cd... then:

20 Minutes - Wonderful Tonight at 40 bpm. I played the whole piece through at 40 bpm with the hands separately and then worked in four bar blocks with both hands together. I can just about get through the first 12 bars with both hands together at 40bpm... there are some errors though!

20 Minutes - Bob Mintzer Etude 1. I ran the whole piece through (with the repeat) at five tempos from 40 up to 48 bpm. I'm still making errors but it is getting better.

20 Minutes:

Reinecke 5 tempos 46 - 54
Biehl 5 tempos 76 - 92 (I might just start running this five times at 92 in future)
G, A and D major scales

15 Minutes composition exercises from Ted Pease book.
