Don't worry too much about the mistakes. Watch everyone's videos. It helps to improve. Great job for your first time and welcome aboard!Tuan Phan Thanh wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 9:03 amThank you for your helping information. I know there is lots of mistake. Beside that is tempo is slow. Yes it is no 30 masuoka. I bought it old about 250 usd.
Very nice! I'm finding myself challenged by Old MacDonald. I can play some of the pieces after it, but I've yet to play Old MacDonald through without error unless I really drop the tempo.Alan Burns wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:23 pmI am finding the material very challenging but rewarding. I recorded Old MacDonald and Au Clair de la Lune at 90 bpms. As I practice them, I hope to increase the bpm.
Welcome aboard! I'm jealous of your Old MacDonald. No hints of buzzes or wrong notes or hesitations. Watch the muting though, I though I heard some string sounding when they shouldn't have. Nice steady tempo though. The Open String #2 had some measures slower than others, but MacDonald was nice. There are all sorts of free metronome apps out there, I use one sometimes just to keep me honest. (I have decades of prior music experience, so I have that advantage, but still, I turn the metronome on, its a good tool.)Tuan Phan Thanh wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 4:19 amthis is my first assignment, hope will catch up with others soon

When that happens to me I break up the piece into separate smaller pieces and treat each phrase as its own separate piece, then I isolate the problem passages and play those until I can play them at a nice tempo without any problems. When I approach through this divide and conquer strategy, I rarely play the whole piece more than a couple of times during my practice section. It seems to be working for me. I welcome to learn different approaches, as different pieces might need a different approach. What works for you?Paul Cezanne wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 2:06 pmVery nice!

Here's my two, including a nice aggravated scowl at the end of Old MacD. (I did about 10 more attempts after that one, all with errors.) It is getting frustrating. Here's A La Claire Fontaine:
Just highlighting my past submission. I think it got overlooked. It hasn't been added to the first post. I noticed the submissions haven't been logged on d01-2 and d01-3 yet..

I recently joined myselft. I am working on Lesson 2. There is plenty of time to catch up with the rest of the group. I think you had a very strong first submission.
Delcamp's advice on speed (as you will read in lesson 3 of this course) is
"You should not worry about speed when tackling a new piece. At the beginning, such a preoccupation would only hinder you in your progress. It is only once you have mastered the piece within the comfort of a slow tempo, that you can start to think about playing progressively faster until finally you reach the right tempo."
In my case, at my age, it takes me time to master a piece at full tempo. I personally, do not worry about it. It will come in time.
Welcome aboard!
Alan
