Today, I had my piano lesson again and I improved a lot at the two songs that I were struggling about before. For the first piece, I played it more smoothly and rather confidently since I had been practicing the piece throughout the week. What I need to improve more on this song is my carefulness since I sometimes stumped upon some melodies in the piece because I do not read the melodies and notes carefully. For the second piece, I have improved in the notes-reading and it seems that I played it rather flowing than before. But still, I am still not fluent playing this piece so I need to practice this piece more until the next meeting. I also played some scales in today's lesson. Looking that I am now in Grade 5, the scales are more complicated and I am required to remember about 25 scales. What I am struggling on now are scales that have lots of flats and sharps, making me confused since I need to play the scales in 3 octaves. For the next lesson, I also need to choose a third piece choice for the examination. I was left with two choices of melodies on today's lesson and I need to listen to the CD first and determine which one will I play based on which of the two that is more easy on my ears and skills to be played.
