Two Grenadiers

 I started working on The Two Grenadiers last week. Here's two takes of my playing. I kept messing up, here's one of me messing up on like my 6th take, and on this last one I called it good for tonight... I didn't mess up too much in that one. Still need to work on tone and clarity and getting deep in the strings. Those things will come as I practice. I'm glad that I like practicing, it's fun. 

Graduated Book 1

I graduated Book 1 today, yay, I took like a month trying to get Gavotte really good, and I tried to pass it off twice and she told me to keep working on spacatto, and it improved, but the slurs need a little more work, you're almost there - but today she said it's good and she'll count it. There is still room for more improvement on making my slurs clear as I'm switching strings, but she said not to worry cause it will come as there will be lots of pieces that will help those techniques in book 2, so it's ok. So yay, I'll try to record myself playing the songs and we'll see if I improved from my before take -
