Today I dug up my Clarke's "Technical Studies" book and I've been working on that first lesson for 2 days now. I am back at playing it 10 times in one breath. I think that's pretty good considering I'm way out of shape so hopefully soon I will be able to play it 14 times in one breath or even 20 times. So far from practicing that exercise I'm starting to use my air more efficiently now. I screamed out a G3 today. The thing I hate about my range is that sometimes I'll be screaming B3's and stuff really high and some other days I can't even go past a high C. So I have learned to not get too excited when I developed good range, because it may only last for a couple of weeks, days, hours, or even minutes. We'll just see how this goes. Tuesday is my All county Audition. I feel pretty comfortable with the piece. Hopefully I can do a repeat of next year. Although I got 1st chair my freshman year I don't feel too confident this year. For some reason I don't think I can repeat what I did last year.
