One Step Back.

I thought I was really well prepared for this week's lesson-turns out, instead of getting better, in my attempt to play faster I just got sloppy.  Everything I played for my instructor was poorly done.  So-yet again-slow down.  Way down-go back to basics.  I learned this week that it is better to play slowly but well than to play quickly and poorly-lesson learned.  My new tune this week is When the Battle's Over- a nice little tune that looks deceptively easy; however, I'm having some difficulty with the timing, probably because it's 3/4 time and everything I've played up to this point has been 2/4 or 4/4.  Hopefully, I'll be able to play it well next week-slowly.
