Progress This Week
This week’s practice has been a bit less than usual. Partly due to a busy weekend plus Halloween, I haven’t had a lot of time to practice. Besides a few short practice sessions, I’ve only had about one solid practice session this week so far. I have still been focusing on practicing and memorizing Upside Down by Jack Johnson. I’ve also practiced the Arabian music a bit. I have been trying to get better at strumming without a pick. I have been doing this for 2 reasons: I might not always have a pick with me, and using a pick makes the music a lot louder, which isn’t always appropriate in all settings. I have found it difficult to strum without a pick, while still maintaining good sound quality. Future Progress I am not sure if I will be able to complete everything I wanted to on time. I might not be able to learn all of the songs I want to. However, I think that it could be feasible if I can structure my practice right. Thus, I am going to start developing better strategies so that I can get more efficient use out of my practice. Strategy I am going to start setting miniature goals each week so that I can stay on track to reach my larger goals. I think this will help me a lot by making sure that I am focusing on the right stuff. In addition, I would like to define what I want to accomplish each day, before each practice section. This coming week I want to finish memorizing Upside Down by Jack Johnson, continue practicing the Arabian song until I have minimal mistakes while playing, and learn how to strum better without using a pick. I think that setting specific goals and targets each week like this will help me to be on track of reaching my long term goals of learning 3-4 songs. Another thing that I have to keep in mind is that it would be better to get really good at 1 or 2 songs than it would be to just learn 4 or more songs, without actually mastering them.
