Just had a great lesson tonight. Some of the stuff that I've been working really hard on, I need to keep working on, with specific tips. Some of the duets I did so well on that I surprised Jack - he was delighted! How utterly gratifying!
I'm getting much better at hearing what the piece should sound like and then emulating it. It pleases me. My ear keeps getting better but oh, it has so many lifetimes to go before you could call it good.
I need to play my notes whole. It's hard to describe what I do but I know exactly what it is and Jack knows exactly what it is. I start them timidly and then build them, but I do this note by note. Jack's calling me on it whenever I do it, though, so I'll get past this.
So. Work on legato. Play my notes whole. Don't play my E natural and A natural (2nd position) flat, which I tend to do. When it says dolce, play it beautifully. :)
