Lunchtime Practice, actual

Lesson 1: Practice every day, even when you are tired.
Lesson 2: If you are really tired and playing badly, don't force it and keep going.
Lesson 3: When you are not tired and play with intent and thoughtfully, it goes MUCH BETTER!

Good practice, I approached the etudes by thinking the first bar or two and the pace first in my head, and carefully setting my mouth on the mouthpiece ... the low etude was beautiful the first time through, all were night and day different from yesterday. Practiced everything I'd set out, now back to work!
