Blow the Man Down is more challenging

Laura,
Blow the Man Down is more challenging than I thought. Simple the chord changes are not identical for both hands. (Quarter note on the RH and half note on the LH, etc.) I am going slowly here.
Hope you trip went well last week. See you Thursday 7:45 pm as scheduled.

Funny to play RH G with 4 position

I am so used to playing G (RH) with my pinkie but I see why they want it done with the ring finger-so I can reach the A easily.
I spoke with a classmate yesterday and she said unless you post otherwise there will not be class tonight. Therefore, good luck with your event.
See you on 02/26/09 at 7:45 pm unless I hear otherwise.

Alpine Melody

Working on Alpine Melody. The Major C chord is hard with the RH. I will work on it over the weekend. See you next Thursday at 7:45 pm.

Wow, foot pedal and hand position changes

Beautiful Brown Eyes is tough! Bad enough to change hands but to remember when to place your right foot down, on the pedal, is a bit confusing.
I will see how far I get back Thursday.
Also, Laura, read this on cell phone marketing:

"Heads up - this is true.
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this week
REMINDER... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies this week and you will start to receive sale calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 1-888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds."

Starting to play Harp Song one Octave up and one down

Octave up is okay. Little harder one Octave down??? the pedal is something I have to keep remembering. See you Thursday 7:45 pm. I will dress in layers.

Working on the Harp Song

I have just finished practicing at DCC on the Harp Song (page 37). It is interested that some very pleasing pieces can be made up of all broken cords-although I think that last note: G on the RH needs a bigger finish, don't you?
Even though the Damper pedal is not that big a deal it was hard to remember to lift and return after the 4Th measure in each line. I am sure that will come over time.
The main reason for this posting is the D7 chord on the RH. Funny, the D7 is easier on the LH. (Strange since I am a rightie.). Here I really have to slide the fingers towards the back of the keys just to make it work. More on that Thursday evening. I will try and practice again tomorrow so we will see if I have anything else before class.
