Good ol' Engelbert

I just cleaned my slide and oh, it is so beautiful and so smooth. I have a Yamaha Zeno 620 and it is one fine instrument, let me tell you. And the work that the Slide Dr. did on my slide - oh, it is a joy to play now.

I'm going to rotate exercises with symphony pieces. Beeler - work on 4 exercises until my next lesson, rotate those or the duet pieces with symphony pieces. This morning, my goal is:
  • Warm up
  • Beeler Allegretto duet, top part
  • Hansel and Gretel, picking up from where I left off
  • If I get through Hansel and Gretel, Petite Waltz top part
I will time myself. Oh, I am listening to Wynton Marsalis and I have to turn that off now to play, and that is a minor tragedy in my life ... oh, how does he play that so outrageously?!?!?!
