Warm-up/Technique:
String Walking exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m eight notes @ 90 bpm
String Walking exercise with l quarter notes @ 85 bpm

Right-Hand Velocity (Pumping Nylon pg. 63) with i,m sixteenth notes @ 105 bpm
Same with l, m with sixteenths @ 80 bpm

Repertoire:
Estrellita
Prepared before starting the piece as per Glickstein's advice in The Musican's Way (pg. 180).
- Center - Connect - Count - Begin

In order to connect, I had to read up about the origin of Estrellia. Turns out there are original lyrics (in Spanish), which made establishing the meaning of the song for me much simpler.

Played up to Part II.

Pica Pica
Wanted to do the same procedure, but don't know what meaning Pica-Pica has for me. Need to think about this and establish tomorrow.

Thoughts:
According to Glickstein, expert performers are able to put worries about technique aside during the performance. They concentrate on the meaning, the art of the piece. This in turn of course is a big part of connecting with an audience. This was such an obvious, but long-sought revelation for me.

Glickstein warns against choosing unattainble music. That's something that's definitely been plaguing my musical path. I choose something too hard, and so I'm not even able to get a chance to refine my performance skills. Even Pica-Pica, I realized, may be too hard. After all, I've been working on it on and off since May. I may need to find easier pieces with which I can really practice performing.

"To ensure that you have ample capacity to manage your openrs, choose music that you can perform well even when you're jittery. Then complete many practice performances to discover the ways that you're affected at the start."
The Musician's Way, p. 182
