Today I had my first piano lesson since my break in September. I am now in Grade 5 ABRSM (Royal) Piano and it is definitely a lot harder to say the least. Today, I continued to play the 2 melodies that I have been practicing for the examination later in March 2012, the first is called "Air, Fourth movement from Partita No. 6 in E minor, BWV 830" by Johann Sebastian Bach and the second is called "Miniature in D Minor, No. 2 from Dix miniatures en forme d'etudes, Op.8" by A. F. Gedike. For the first piece, I have already understood and known the notes thoroughly but need to play it as if it flows and smoothly. For the second piece, I need to grasp and understand the notes more since I have not played it with the confidence that I had while playing the first piece. In conclusion, my goal for the next few lessons is to improve in those areas mentioned.
