Friday: 

Today I practiced ALTO RECORDER.

I practiced from 5:40 to 6:40 PM

5:40-6:10 PM: Scales and Exercises
6:10-6:40 PM: Practice a new composition of mine.

I wrote a piece called: Need for Peace, for Alto Recorder and Piano. However, since I'm a complete noob at Alto Recorder, (Tone wise), I decided to do the recording on Flute. I apologize, though. The recording device I used is not reliable-- and was having trouble balancing the back track and the live recording. It didn't catch any of my vibrato. (I used my IPhone for the Piano recording, and my computer for the Flute recording.)

Please enjoy the track! It is a BACKWARDS accompaniment, where the Piano shines and the Flute accompanies. It's an unconventional duo--but it's my job as a composer to provide such strange combinations.

Without further ado, ENJOY.

NEED FOR PEACE (LOW QUALITY FLUTE STUFF)
