Drat those Finger cymbals

I am still having trouble remembering the order of the sections for the level 2 choreography. I listen to the music and some it sounds so the same to me. The ques are not yet obvious to me. There are three that can get me back on track but other then those if I get lost..I am really lost in the order. I keep thinking the more I listen to it the more I will hear it. Some music is just like this for me though.

My pyramids and Vs are a mess, especially when I start to move the other way. I don't think this concept is living in my body just yet. The muscle memory is not there...hmm..which means I need to practice and drill them. Well I just checked the online classes and there are 6 classes waiting just for me to work on them with. Good to know!

Ok..now onto the finger cymbals. Have you ever added finger cymbals onto something and something else falls apart? Sometimes I can be excellent on the finger cymbals, but can no longer walk. Or I totally loose my body work. I have found The Amazing Slowdowner to be invaluable in this training. You can slow down your music and then slowly speed it up again without changing the pitch(is that the right musical terminology?) Rachel Brice uses in in workshops and she told me about it. Check it out at http://www.ronimusic.com/ (oh..the other application I like this for is speeding up music. Often in preparation for a performance I will practice it faster, so I know I can get all the moves at a faster speed. Then when the performance happens everything just slows down and I hit each move the way I would like.)

Little O is asking for help with her Caterpillars, so I must cut this short. Practice, practice, practice
