Practice diary 2024 - Andre Bernier

Starting a new practice diary for 2024 with few comments on what I have been working on in January.

My practice routine has been at least one practice a day (sometime 2 and even 3 on some days). Each practice is about 45 to 60 minutes. It starts with a 10 to 15 min warm up using about 5 of the 120 Guiliani's Right Hand studies. I have so far worked on 30 of them and I introduce 10 new ones every month. I hope that by the end of the year I will have make good progress on them.

I also came back on the Sergio Assad Sketch no 1 that I put aside in November and  December. I progressively worked on the 4 parts of the piece. I am able to play each part at different speeds and still need the metronome for the last 3 parts. Still a lot of work to do but I made some progress. 

I normally finish my practice routine by practicing one or 2 of the pieces I learned last year. 

Here are the separate recordings of the 4 parts of S. Assad sketch 1 .
