Two Week Plan

    My plan for the next two weeks is to launch off on learning how to read sheet music, which means I'm basically going to be going through a book [the one I'm using is called Progressive Class Piano, a book specifically directed at older beginners] and practicing the pieces specific to learning how to read music. It's kind of difficult to explain exactly what that means, but I'm basically just playing simple pieces with notes that are easy to recognize and then increasing the difficulty of the notes (?)
    I'm probably going to spend a whole month on just reading sheet music because I definitely need the practice. I guess I didn't mention in my last post that I would be taking lessons with Mary Ann Miller. She also teaches my little sister, so I kinda get to hang around her house a lot. Anyways, my lessons are every Monday at 5:30PM, so that'll be happening every week. In addition, I'll be practice for at least half an hour every single day [this is actually going to be monitored by my mom... boooo haha]. I actually haven't asked my mentor who'll help check up on me yet [YIKES], so I should probably get on that.  So Ms. Lord agreed to be my mentor, and we will be meeting every Monday as well, during 7th period. 

   As for research right now, I'll probably start reading my sources on music therapy. At the same time, I'll be starting to listen to music every night as I fall asleep :D
