Practicing progress

I am happy to report that I have had a very good practice week. Often, at this point in the week, I am thinking, "Oh, no, my lesson is on Monday, and I haven't really practiced yet." Then, I spend the weekend trying to catch up. This week, I decided to take my own advice, and practice every day for 1-2 hours, including all that good slow practice. I am still concentrating mostly on pieces, with only minimal time for scales and exercises, but it is progress.
