Weekend practice

I find it difficult to practice on the weekend but I made myself sit down at the piano after watching Skate Canada and I actually had a really good practice. Perhaps I was inspired by those hard-working skaters. Peter listened to my Chopin again on Friday (played from memory) and he said I need to be careful because my left hand isn't very accurate. I'm determined to fix the problem and so spent a lot of time just going over the left hand part. The part is generally a base note and then 2 chords (usually 2 patterns per bar) and Peter says I falter on the 2nd chord quite often. He suggested playing it through using the right hand for the second chord. This forces you to actually read the notes rather than relying on physical memory of where your hand is positioned. I played it through once that way and then just left hand alone. I think it is sounding better. I'm not very good at repetition, I get bored very quickly, but sometimes it needs to be done!
