Monday, 2 hours of Practice!

I did my scales and Schradieck. I played most of the time on the Scherzo Tarantella. Then I played through the Winter 1st movement of the Vivaldi several times. Whenever I get the thoughts of "I'm so tired, I'm going to put my practice off and maybe make it up another day", I stop and say to myself where do I want to be in a couple years? If I put my practice off it's delaying my success and ability to get out and perform and reach my goals. What could take me 2 years could take 4 if I put off my practice time. And, my health is good right now, you never know what could be around the corner. I'm given the opportunity to practice right now so I've got to take full advantage of it now, not tomorrow or next year! I just love the pieces I'm working on. The Rondo Capricciosso I've have to really push now! The others will come but this piece is a monster and I need to be working on it everyday!!!

I listened to some Youtube video performance of the Scherzo Tarantella. I really love Heifetz's interpretation of it and Itzhak Perlman's! My two favorites!!

Good night Yal!! Oh, God Bless America!! I can't believe the White House had "God" taken out of the "Pledge of Allegiance" when aired on I think it was CNN or NBC. I'll have to research it again to get the exact details. I heard about it today on the news and couldn't believe my eyes! I'm outraged!! Apparently, many other Americans are too!! You can't take God out, no not here in America!!
