Back in the swing of things...

I managed a proper day of practice today:

15 minutes: Running through Top Cat... warts and all!

30 minutes: Making a start on my third Grade 3 piece - Carl Albert Loeschhorn's Study in F.
I worked through the first six bars at crotchet=40

15 minutes: Running through the Bach piece at five tempos (76, 80, 84, 88, 92)

15 minutes more on the Study in F

15 minutes: Comping practice using the three note voicings to play Satin Doll and Tune Up

It has been a slightly odd and emotional week in some ways. I'm eventually starting to learn that although I have no control over the actions/words/thoughts of other people I can learn to control my responses to them. I'm trying to learn to 'let go' of things that people do and say and not get caught up in non-productive mind games. Easier said than done but certainly the key to a happier existence (Musically and otherwise.)

Pretentious nonsense? Quite possibly but its my blog and I'll cry if I want to!
