## 🎯 Activities Practiced - **Technical Exercises** - Focus: C major scales - **Repertoire** - Focus: Keyboard Musician - **Sight Reading** - Focus: Progressive Sight Reading Exercises ## 🏆 Notes & Observations - C major scales. Decent command of RH/LH individually. Struggling to get parallel. I can start to get it without looking at fingering as long as I keep my eyes on the keyboard. I can often get it right without looking ascending and then fall apart descending. Crossing over at different moments between RH/LH is tough. Need to keep at it. But I think I can start learning Gmajor scales, if only for variety's sake, and come back. Seek how its sunk in. - C major chords. Good progress! Was able to do the Cmaj chords contrary without looking a few times. Also tried parallel -- OK ascending, challenging descending. Want to solidify this. Possibly ask instructor to give technique guidance on the playing through arms think I've read. Fingers get tired. - Keyboard Musician. Played around with the technics exercises, which asked me to play certain patterns of notes in three different octaves. Instructor showed me different wrist/hand motions to try with this. Noticed that moving arm/wrist side-to-side laterally on an x-z plane makes smoother legato notes.Moving rotationally around x-y axis (around what would be 0,0) lends to more punctuated staccato notes. Should play with that again. Also took that focus from technics and tired it in the Keyboard Musician pieces Moving On and Peasant Dances. Thinking maybe ask for feedback on rhythm and musical phrasing. - Sight Reading - did pg3 exercises from Hannah Smith Progressive Sight Reading Exercises book. ## 📊 Quick Stats - **Duration** (min): 61
