45 min practice
15 min on the octave violin going over Sleeping Soond and Ragtime Annie. The octave down really makes these songs come alive. This cello version brings out the whimsy of the song:
Also played C and D major 2 octave scales on the octave violin.
After that, switched over to the regular violin for C and D major 2 octave scales, and then starting to really polish off Sleeping Soond, which is starting to sound good, as well as Ragtime Annie - I'm finally getting those double stop slides with the 1 and 3 fingers.
Switched over to practicing Part A, and learning Part B of the Rejected Lover/Suitor. I'm starting to get good speed on A, and getting the rhythm of B while playing in tune. I still need to find out which slurs and double stops Katie is using. It doesn't feel like her song yet, like I'm getting the accents on the wrong notes. I'm playing it too flat - Not "rejected" enough I guess :)
Looking forward to tomorrow's group lesson.
