30 min
Tabata warmup
Timer set to 10 reps of 2:40/:20
Tasks
1. Feuillard #33 short detache and warm up "body commitment"
2. Feuillard #2 var 17 2nd measure without bow, then big bow
3. Feuillard #33 with Haydn short down long up bow pattern
4. Feuillard #33 with Haydn short slurred 2 down long up pattern
5. Feuillard #8 var 1 with slinky hand shifts
6. Feuillard #34 var 4 and 34 ud
7. Feuillard #35 with Bach bowing 3 slurred down 1 up on middle note
8. Feuillard #36 with expository chords
9. Suzuki Haydn prep Perpetual Motion
10. Suzuki Haydn prep for m40

Modifications and notes:
(3) worked best with a metronome to keep the rhythm honest
(4) took awhile to get into the bowing. For this one, the metronome was a distraction. Looking at the notes helped.
(5) Too much to do in 2.5 min, so ended up repeating the first two hand patterns in a loop.
(8) Icky chords. Ended up just working a C major chord. Need to find a more useful chord progression. (Maybe Duport 7?)
(9) and (10) Ended up slowing way down to work on tone. Must unlock the hand from the frame while playing the notes.
(10) Practiced bowing variations before double stopping.

Learned: 20 sec is not long enough to get up, look at the list on the computer, and turn the page. Next time, need to at least mark the pages for quick page turns, and consider printing out the list.

Also, this is a *great* warmup. So great, I need a little break before I practice!
