When you practiced, including day/time, and how long

• Daily, approximately 1-2 hours per day, 10+ hours total for the week

How you used your time (warm-up, technique, repertoire), and how long you spent on each thing

• Scales for 15 minutes
• Warm-up exercises I'm learning in Wind Ensemble for 15 minutes
• 30+ minutes on repertoire

What issues/challenges/questions may have come up

• I am still struggling with sight-reading on percussion mallet instruments.

Any frustrations or set-backs you may have experienced

• I wish I was coming along faster with trying to learn to sight-read percussion mallet parts

Progress you feel you are making, in terms of meeting your goals for that week

• The progress has been slow but steady.  I have been working on a piece called, "Lightning Field" by John Mackey.  I am playing a very involved marimba part, and it surely has been coming along nicely, but there's still a lot of practice/work to be done on it.

Any other information that you feel might help your teacher to help you at the next lesson

• I would like to spend more time focusing on some of the repertoire pieces I am playing on the marimba this semester.
