November Blog Post

For most of this month, I've been focusing heavily on classical pieces that I will submit to the colleges I've applied to. I've been learning from Chopin, Beethoven, and Bach. My normal practice hours of two and a half hours daily have been doubled nearly every day, as I have been trying to learn these pieces as fast as possible. It has been quite a stressful experience, but also a fun one, as I get a better head start with these pieces, especially with the one I am doing for independent component. By the time I have these pieces ready, I will most likely already be prepared for my independent component as well. I've had to juggle time management with test prep for the ACT and SAT, but I have managed. I am more than halfway done learning my pieces, all I must do now is to perfect them and record them.
