Piano Lessons

To make up for a rescheduled lesson, I had an hour lesson today which I love because we can get so much more covered and worked on.
I ended up having to postpone the recital since I ended up being out of town doing other community service and wouldn't be home in time to make it to the recital. Plus, this way we both have more time to work on and perfect our parts of the duets, and it won't be as stressful.
Today, we worked on everything: My theory book that I finally found, "Arabesque", further on "Harry's Wondrous World', and worked some on "Turkish March" which I have completely neglected, partially because of time and also because I'm afraid of how hard it might be, so I'm putting it off so I don't have to deal with it. This is something I really should work on since it will inhibit my ability to further my skills later in life. I need to just bite the bullet and work on it no matter how much I really don't want to. I know that once I do it won't be as bad as I thought. But today instead of worrying about the specific chords in each measure, Debra told me to just focus on the chord of the whole major, for example just playing an A chord instead of worrying about hitting the A then the C and E. With this method I think I can tackle "Turkish March" but with the crazy season coming up at school, I'm not sure how much time I can put into it.
