Had my lesson today. Decided that I was going to do the first movement of my Beethoven Sonata. See how it went.And it went FANTASTIC! My teacher was so suprised and impressed at how well it was going. It's up to concert speed, there's not all that many mistakes (still a few to work on, but that's good because it's far too early to have it perfect). Unfortunately, because he heard the Beethoven so good, he wants to hear my Prokofiev up to the same standard next week. My Beethoven at the beginning of last week was far ahead of where my Prokofiev is today, and being a busy week I'm going to find it hard to find time to practice. But we'll see how it goes.
Work today went fairly well. I'm doing so much preperation that when we eventually get around to sending the e-mails out, I wouldn't be suprised if I was working 2-3 months ahead of the e-mails I'm sending out. But oh well, it gives me time to make sure that what I send out is actually the best material.
Anyway, I've got stuff to do, so I'm going to head off now. Hope you all enjoyed my April Fools Joke :) If only it was real...
