Week 6

This Wednesday, in class, I accomplished learning the first five measures of both the left and right hand parts to Traverse Town. This week I discovered/learned that base clef's B is where treble clef's G is. Problems/issues that came up this week were that I wasn't used to separating the movements of my hands, so I had to keep looking at the music and slowing down. Next Wednesday I am going to work on learning all the notes of the base clef.

week 5

This Wednesday, in class, I accomplished obtaining a music book that can teach me the positions of the base clef notes.

This week I discovered/learned that I can play the right hand part for any piece of piano music by moving the notes up one and removing two flats.

Problems/issues that came up this week were that Garret kept knocking on the door with no intent at all, distracting Hunter and I from our work.

Next Wednesday I am going to start learning the first five measures of the left hand part to Traverse town.
