This week I took pictures of my day on Thursday, March 7th, as a piano performance major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:30-10:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started the day with my Theory 140- Aural Skills Class. We focused on the Cadential 6\/4- chords that usually appear at the end of the music that outlines the dominant scale degree. The dominant of a key is the fifth note, and the cadential 6\/4 uses it to lead into the ending (cadence). Additionally, in this class, we sang chord progressions to highlight how each chord resolves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12:30-1:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_3222.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25281\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:193px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I then had my weekly lesson with Professor Harding. I continued to work on Chopin Ballade No. 3. This is one of my favorite pieces to play because there is so much intensity and beautiful moments. I also find it amazing how the lessons I learn in my theory classes start to apply to my pieces when I think about chords and notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3:00-4:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I headed&nbsp; over to central campus for my French class. I had an exam today about travel preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4:30-6:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_3186.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25270\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:194px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I went back to the School Of Music to attend studio class, a weekly class featuring performances from other piano performance majors. This week, I was the first one to play. I performed Bach\u2019s Prelude and Fugue in G Minor from Book 1. While I was a little nervous, I am glad with how I performed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_3211.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25272\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:204px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I finish my day with practicing. Earlier today, I took a picture of the geese in the water while entering the School of Music. It was raining, but I found this moment so beautiful. When playing my pieces during my practice time, I thought about this image and incorporated the beauty of it to my playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
