The title of this page is self-explanatory. I really need to keep track of what I’m playing because it’s the only way I can keep disciplined, especially now that I am in the wilderness of “No Music Teacher” again. Because, yes, I really am that forgetful and undisciplined and lists help neutralize that, to a certain extent. I am dividing it into songs I’ve learnt w/ my teacher and what I am now teaching myself. I am determined to learn how to sight-read new songs every week.

Also, the list only goes back to May 2005, since I can’t remember what I played before then and couldn’t be bothered to remember.

Practicing/Relearning:

(Month Starting: March 2010)

A whole bunch of grade 3-4 easy baroque and renaissance pieces just to practice/improve my sight-reading.

[Gap from June to October, where I forgot to list down what I had been playing. A handful of pieces, some baroque, a couple of more modern pieces. Took another musical break in November. From December to April, was mostly acoustic guitar lessons (a break from classical guitar). I have returned to Classical Guitar]
