When i was stressing about which book to get but I'm just going to get every one that I feel like getting😂 so doing the minor scale book then three octave scales so intermediate positions are 👌

I really really want to improve my left hand technique but I feel the biggest thing holding it back is like....lack of coordination? It just feels and sounds so sloppy and I think it's because I dont practice slow enough. So that is now a big priority! Especially playing warm ups slow and focused.

Actually playing really fast pieces has helped with this. Actually learning how to play them...

Debating if I should get cassia Harvey's book for 5th position. I'd love more practice but it might not be challenging enough? Like, I only have so much time/energy to practice and I dont know if it is worth doing that over more scale time. It's also for when ur learning intermediate position for the first time which I'm not. Honestly I will probably get it because if it will help me improve it's worth $10 even if I don't study it religiously. I'll probably also get her three octave scale book.
