well, ive been practicing about 5 hours a day for about a week and a half lately. everythings getting better, but still needs a lot of work. especially that piece he gave me. ive got the techniques down(even though it was super easy) but it still needs work on interpretation and stuff. i think i will spend the majority of the day tomorrow figuring out this piece, since ive mainly been playing etudes. i should also focus tomorrow on my orchestra excerpts. i should really get to practicing those already....iwant everything perfect at least a week before juilliard starts.
