Trying to get back on track a little.  Had a performance with my students at the Rochester, MI Older Persons’ Commission.  Everyone did a good job, although it wasn’t totally perfect.  I really have to practice piano.  Overall, I saw a lot of improvement.

 

63, 64:  I’ve reached a new low.  Too many days without a post and two days straight with no “true” performances.  Ouch.  I might be getting lazier, or busier.  Not sure.  Regardless, I think I’m failing.  I promise to do better.

65:  Better!  Sang in church with the Lawson’s on Sunday.  This was the Pentecost service.  I’m starting to actually get familiar with the service and the music.

66:  Class with students.  The performance might be a little rough, but I’m sure they’ll do a good job.

67:  Dwight asked me to play at Cliff Bell’s.  This Tuesday night gig seems like it’s turning into a good hang.  A few people came down to sit in including Rafael Staunton and Jordan Schug.  A few Oakland students came down too.

61: Class.  Had the students perform and record themselves (I played piano).  This was the most effective teaching tool yet, as they were able to hear themselves, and understand that their concepts didn’t match the musical results.  Very interesting.

62:  Different type of performance maybe.  Frisbee golf with friends.  My “performance” was not spectacular.  Looks like I need a little more practice.
