Got my metronome

Picked up a metronome and have been making progress with it—what a difference a good piano and good metronome make! I have been doing scales and exercises as well and am almost up to 90 bpm. My fingers are getting stronger and that is what counts. I found that with the Debussy I am working on, my 4th and 5th fingers have gotten extremely weak, so doing the exercises is helping with the evenness. My latest challenge is I need to aim to practice at least 1 hour per day. Ideally I would shoot for 3 hours per day, but I am a working mom so not much time during the week to do this. I plan on setting up a practice chart and timing my practice durations to get the most out of preparing to achieve my goal!
