Individual Study Blog #1

Today was the first day I started working on the individual study. I didnt have too much difficulty on bars 5 through 13. Sometimes I found the sluring in bars 7 - 8 to be challenging. I have to make sure that the two sets of sixteen notes come out seperate rather than as one. This piece has many slurs that are followed by staccatos. I have to practise and make sure I play the staccatos where they're written and be careful not to slur the staccatos into the measure. The last note in the 12th measure is a B natural. Being a flute I am used to playing in the key of B flat major. With this piece being in the key of C+ I have to remember to play B and E natural.
