Today was an awesome day! I started at nine sharp and went until five in the afternoon. I went straight to practicing the song that I had gotten done yesterday and as well as that I started sounding out chords to the other songs. I actually got a decent amount of chords sounded out and I was able to play bits and pieces of each song. I didn't think that I would be able to actually open my ears and hear the little details, the progression, the chord changes, and how the key changes throughout each song. That being said, Brian my mentor had said something yesterday about really listening and opening your ears when playing a song. He said:"Your ears are everything". I really took Brian's saying seriously today and I got so much accomplished. I am very proud of myself for picking up on his knowledge and applying what he said to todays work. After both today and yesterday, I feel like I have a better sense of music now. In total I worked for eight hours straight and later from eight to ten I'll be working on and practicing the songs again, so that will make a total of 10 hours of hard work for today.
