I've definitely been rather lax in recording my progress in recent months. I think it's partly due to the fact that I'm practicing in a different room than the computer is in, making it less convenient. Especially since I've switched my practice time to after the dogs have walked. It's getting so dark, so early and S is typically watching TV by that time and the TV is in the same room as the computer.
To overcome this little problem I've set up my iPhone (free courtesy of my generous semester) to record video. The sound and video quality are probably quite different but I think it's good enough for my purposes.
So, out of all the songs I've managed to download (for addresses see bottom of post) I've narrowed the list down to my five favorites, which are:
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Joy to the World
Silent Night
Oh Holy Night
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
I'm really looking forward to our family Xmas dinner party because I want to play for my family. It's been so many years since I've made them sit down and suffer through a music recital. This time I think I can make beautiful music. I used to play the baritone so can you imagine the cacophony ?
