tired puppy's practice goal

My friend Suzanne from Petersburg came in yesterday and we stayed up late talking, and I am dragging today. She's off to Sitka now and will be back Friday.

I played Happy Birthday for my landlady this morning before work - that with flowers, to start her special day off right.

Modest goal tonight:

• Warm up on Happy Birthday in different keys
• Practice a couple of minor scales - got to get those minor scales in my head
• Beeler:
• Low etude - dynamics, breathing
• Scale exercise - just once or twice at 40 in 4, like on Sunday
• Etude #3 - 46 in 2, like Sunday, pay attention to not rushing at end, playing the high notes fully
• Finish going through the Mahler
• Start looking over the Mussorgsky

Starting practice at ~ 7:10
