A Month of Classes and 100 Days of Cello

Today marks the 100th day of Cello, really a little less than 100 days, as there's been a day here and there when the cello didn't get touched, but I only deducted days of ownership for vacations and sick time. I don't have a video prepared for this milestone as I've been practicing instead on pieces for my chamber music class.

This week started some of the first tests for my college courses. My Psych test was online, I scored 92 on that and did equally as well on the open book test for Human Growth & Development. The scary thing was that 1/3 of the class for Human Growth & Development made a D or an F. The test was incredibly easy, what a sorry statement for today's youth.

Boring stats:
T 9/4 - Scales up to 3 flats and 3 sharps, bow exercises (S&B) Chamber Music Class
W/R/F 9/5 - 9/7 - Broken D String - didn't practice
S 9/8 - S&B, read chamber music assignment: Piano Trio Movements of Simple Character by Old Masters by Hockner/Mlynarczyk
U 9/9 - Schroeder 21, S&B
M 9/10 - S&B
T 9/11 - Chamber music Class
W 9/12 - Swan, S&B, Cello part for Telemann Sonata for 2 Violins & Piano

F 9/14 - Swan, Trio, S&B
S 9/15 - Review M1, 2, 3, 4, 6, S&B, Schroeder 21/22, Klengel pg 7
U 9/16 - Bowing exercises, Schroeder 23 - just a few measures
M 9/17 - Weiner 1-4c, Thumb exercises, Trill exercises, Swan, Bow exercises
T 9/18 - Bow exercises, Chamber music class, work on Canon
