Feb 23rd

On Thurday I got on Auralia for 45 minutes. I was going over the exercises that help you distinguish between scales, nat., harm., and melodic. Harmonic is really easy to tell, but the melodic and natural are hard to distinguish between. Then I tried to pick which interval they were playing. I could tell the 4th well, but the 8th and the 5th were hard to distinguish between. So I figured I better think of a way to distinguish between them. I tried to think of the songs that Kimberly taught us to use last semester. I wrote down the ones I could remember. I tried to think of some myself , relating to my songs or other songs that I enjoy. I only thought of two. Then I went downstairs. I found Suzanne. She wrote down 4 more for me. I need to dig out my A.P. notebook from last semester, so that I can write down the pneumonic devices that Kimberly gave us. My practicing went well. I feel like Iam doing better in sight singing class. This makes me happy!
