This week, I picked Thursday, 28th, as a day to show what I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:30-10:30 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started the day with a test in Music Theory. The test had material had material on seven diminished chords, passing 6\/4 chord, pedal 6\/4 chord, and cadential 6\/4. I found it challenging to differentiate between these chords because they all look and sometimes sound similar, but each chord has a purpose. For example, the seven diminished chord creates tension and acts as a leading tone. Once you hear it in a piece, you can identify them easily because there is a certain quality of sound that you can hear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12:30-1:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I had my weekly lesson. I performed Chopin Ballad No.3, and I found some things that I had been practicing on show up seamlessly during my playing. There are still some things, dynamics and flow, that I need to work on, but the progress is going well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3-4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, I have my French class on central. I am learning about superlatives and comparatives. Also, I can start to see some connections between learning French and in classical music. I can pronounce French music pieces that I was not able to before, and I also know some culture that I can incorporate into my playing to evoke certain emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a wellness check up for my hand and hearing. I received very good advice on how to keep my hand in good posture, as well as some stretches to do before and after I practice. I received a hand brace to prevent my wrist from bending while I sleep. I also received earplugs to wear when I am working with large ensembles. The SMTD wellness program is very helpful for musicians like myself! <\/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_3532.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25455\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:116px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I practiced the rest of the day before I perform at my jury!<\/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_3526.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25456\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:123px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, and welcome bace to Captured Moments!
