Practicing more...

I sat at my piano for about an hour this morning... I have been basing my practices on Theory homework. I discovered a lot of new ways to determine the intervals the easiest way possible, I am sure it isn't uncommon, because we did it in class the other day. Like finding a minor 7th interval by singing in my mind : "There's a Place for us" in West Side Story, or a major 7th with "Maria" from that same musical. I the perfect 5th is always easiest with "Twinkle Twinkle". Perfect 4th with "Here comes the Bride". A lot of the intervals I couldnt think of anything for I just thought of the solfegge songs that they sang in Sound of Music, like "do- mi- mi, mi- sol- sol, re- fa- fa, la- ti- ti..." Another thing I did this morning was I sang all the scales in C and D, because they are easiest for my range, and I sang them in major, natural minor, harmonic minor and melodic minor, and I tested myself with trying to find the intervals from the tonic to the note, and I seemed to have trouble with a minor 6th in a natural minor... but I will get it. Anyway. ttfn!
