Piano Lessons

This was my first piano lesson since the Christmas recital where I played Ode to Joy, and I picked a new piece to play. It is called "Arabesque" by Bergmuller, and although it is short, it is advanced technically and will allow me to really work on my fingering and volume changes while playing a nice piece. It's really short, even with a repeat, but it sounds quick, fun, and exciting. It has 16th notes, and lots of them, which will be the hard part, but I think I can do it well.
I'm also going to work on two other pieces at the same time because I want to be able to do more than one at a time, and this way I can progress faster since I'm running out of time to focus and perfect my skills since I'll be going to college in just over a year, and won't be able to continue lessons.
My other pieces are "Harry's Wondrous World" by John Williams, since I love Harry Potter so much and I did a Harry Potter piece in the past. This one is longer and more advanced, and while it will be some work, this one is also for my enjoyment. The last piece is "Turkish March" by Mozart, which is another piece that looks hard, but I'm up for the challenge.
