Another practice session with the SMA yesterday. A few pointers -- hold down the B (1st finger on the A string) when reaching for the G on the D string. When playing the G on the D string, don't play the 4th and 3rd finger at the same time aka blocking the fingers. Watch that D sharp, its too flat. Other than that, I sound pretty good accompanying the six year olds playing the Bach minuets.
Have dress rehearsals for the musical at MDC, Monday and Tuesday night, then actual performances for Thursday and Friday night. Then Xmas concerts for the next two Saturdays.
Finished the Survey of Musical History Online Course today. It was fun. I should have also taken the Psychology and Human Growth Development courses online as I didn't find the live classes very rewarding.
The regular Survey of Musical History course continues to be challenging -- For example, we have to write an essay on the characteristics of opera seria, baroque dance suites and the three types of instrumental concertos.
