Journal Entry 23
December 1, 2008
Well, I am kind of idle, with all of the insane amount of studying for midterms that I have to do; I have barely had time to do anything, but I have still kept up with practicing all of my old songs. But I definitely haven’t had time to work on my transposition of Fur Elise, I plan to do a lot of the work over Christmas break, I will have a lot of extra time then to do it. So I have really enjoyed practicing all of my Christmas songs, especially with Christmas less than a month away. So its been kind of weird, like more than two weeks ago, I went for my lesson on Monday instead of Wednesday which was fine, but I didn’t know if that was a permanent change, so Allie told me that she would call me and tell me when my next lesson was, that was over two weeks ago and I haven’t heard a peep, and because of this, I haven’t gone to my lesson, because I don’t know when to go, so I don’t really know what’s up with that, but ill just keep trucking away on Fur Elise and start the transposition after mid-terms, hopefully I can get a hold of Allie before then.

I am STILL working on Fur Elise, but I think I am in the home stretch of it. But I discovered that my piano has preset songs in it, one of which is Fur Elise, so I have been listening to it, trying to perfect my timing. I also have picked my new song, it is called Traumerei by Schumann, it is only a two page song but it is a really great song, I will probably start it after the break. Also I plan to start working on my transposition again in a couple of days since I have the break. I was supposed to have piano practice today but my teacher has the flu so I guess it just gives me another week to practice Fur Elise. Also I am thinking about what I should do for my presentation in January, Mr. Eckerson said I should do something to involve the audience but honestly I can’t think of a way to include anyone that hasn’t played the piano before, I am not a piano teacher. I will keep thinking about it though, I mean I know that I will play a little bit for the presentation and I will talk about my process of learning piano but I am not sure if that is enough.
