Well, it's been a week. How has everyone been doing with the latest challenge?
I am really enjoying it. I have been having trouble keeping up (normal), and Thanksgiving weekend really threw me off. Hope to be caught up by the end of Jingle Bells.

Re: Holiday Medley Challenge
I'm still working on Joy To the World. I had real trouble playing at full speed and spent a lot of time getting up to speed. I just played the final step of the last lesson of Joy To the World - at the slow tempo. Now I just have to get up to speed. One BPM at a time if necessary!
I'm only two songs behind now, I think.

Re: Holiday Medley Challenge
Hey @sw1tch73ch, thanks for replying.
I am caught up as of last night, I am on the rookie track though. Even the "easy" version is not that easy. I think today starts the last week so I feel good about making it to the end.
In terms of 1BPM I feel ya. That is how I do the Hanon's. Learn one at the slow speed, then raise the metronome 2 BPM every 3 days to increase speed to the fast version. Takes forever but for me it works.

Re: Holiday Medley Challenge
I am doing the Rookie Medley. So far I am doing really well, the breakdowns make it really easy to learn. I got a late start, so I have been catching up 2-3 lessons at a time. I am actually on my Final Reviews in the Rookie sessions, but I have postponed doing them till after the holidays so that i can focus on enjoying all the holiday music.
