Arigatou song:
I keep forgetting the lyrics.

Anki:

Reviews went pretty well - info is definitely solidifying. For sure, I would have given up already on this interval stuff (as I have many times before) were it not for the Anki.

Warm-up/Technique:
Finger-stretching exercise @ 100 bpm. Shifted to 4th position from 5th - getting back the finger flexibility slowly

String Walking exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m eight @ 83 bpm
String Walking exercise with m, l with eight notes @ 65 bpm


Right-Hand Velocity (pg. 63) with sixteenth notes @ 105 bpm rest & free
l, m @ 90 bpm rest & free

Synchronization Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @ 95 bpm rest and free (fee is harder)

Thumb Exercise (pg. 41) @ 65 bpm


Repertoire:

Pica Pica
Measure 15 - played at 70 bpm. Increased to 75, and then to 85 bpm. No problems with tempo, but once again, hard to maintain steady tempo when I play without metronome. Daily, I need to establish the tempo and then play while counting to myself. Of course, I won't be able to concentrate on the feel of the music as I'm doing this, but theoretically I should incorporate this good rhythm into the piece so that I won't have to count anymore.

Estrellita
Played back-to-back with Pica Pica in order to time for show. ~6 minutes.

Na Gafieira Do Vidigal
Practiced part B @ 75 bpm.

Samba Caribe
Studied measure 5 of Part B - very confusing rhythm.

Sightreading:
Delcamp Vol. II pg. 55
