Today, I learned that you should always plan on things going wrong, when working with an accompanist or trying to figure out your senior recital. There are a lot of things that I didn't even think about, that you need to prepare for(such as program notes, appropriate stage lighting, finding a time to do a dress rehearsal, and making an appropriate order of your selections).
In other news, unfortunately I didn't have a good lesson today. In preparation for the etude I struggled the most with, I didn't spend enough time without the metronome. I got lost quite often and found that I wasn't constantly subdividing. When I used the metronome, I let it do the thinking for me.. so I wasn't always thinking about the time. Well, I will do much better on my next lesson! Also, keep watching.. this weekend I am going to do yoga before I play, and see if that helps me relax or improve my playing.
