Practice for Silver Bells Test 2008-07-29 10:34:55
Reading the notes was quite a hassle as I did not know if I should play the sharp notes. So I was practicing the whole time and I made the same mistake playing some wrong notes.

I was quite shocked when teacher said that it was test for silver bells when half of our class have not even take the Scales test.

However, I was practicing Silver Bells in class and tried to take the test anyway.

It was not my best, but after that i continued to practice. Now i can play it rather smoothly without looking at the notes.

I am rather proud of myself being able to play it.

Practice for Scales Test 2008-07-29 10:26:46
The scales were rather easy compare to the sight reading test as it only test how smooth i can change my fingers, but i overlooked one area.
The minor scales i have to shift up 1 fret starting from the 3rd string.

practice for sight reading 2008-07-10 12:09:25
easy reading isnt so hard after all. I just need to remember how to read the score and the placing of my fingers on the frets and i get better at sight reading. Through this exercise, i am prepared for the sight reading test
