This week was very similar to last week progression wise as I didn’t have as much time to practice as I had hoped. I was only able to practice a few times, but during that time I mainly focused on reviewing the same songs rather than learning anything new. Even through I didn’t make big progress, I noticed that I was able to pick things back up a little quicker than when I had first started. I still feel confident in my bow control and note reading, which shows me that the practice I have already put in is sticking. It was helpful to maintain the skills Ive been building instead of putting pressure on myself to constantly improve.
This week reminded me that learning is not always about major growth. Sometimes it is about consistency and maintenance. As a future educator, this is a great reminded that students will also have weeks where they are just holding onto what they have learning, and that is still valuable progress.
