My teacher and I haven't been able to get together for a lesson during the last couple of weeks, but that hasn't kept me from working hard on Ode to Joy and the other two pieces I've been studying. Tonight, we finally hooked up, and I nailed Ode to Joy and the Spanish Waltz!
My teacher was extraordinarily pleased with my progress, so much so that we're moving on to learn another piece, and one of my favorite songs, The Hall of the Mountain King! This week also marks our official foray into chord theory. He's assigned me a classic hymn from Christopher Parkening's book to study, and wants me to be able to identify the chords for it next week.
I'm really excited about learning chord theory. I want so badly to be able to look at a piece of sheet music and instantly identify groups of notes by their chord names.
