I tried to work on the Petite Waltz but my chops are done in today. So, I did not make my goal for an hour and a half but not for lack of trying. There is no point in trashing my mouth trying to achieve an artificial goal.
Carey asked me what I had learned from my practice today:
- I learned that I have about an hour and five minutes of chops in me right now
- I learned that were I to actually have an hour and a half of actual "face time" (as we brassy types like to call it) every day I think I would make tremendous progress
- Having very focused intent, both on exactly what I am working on, and on the time frame makes for a very good practice
It was really a good practice day,
and I got some good studying done,
and I got in a good walk and did a bunch of errands,
and I cleaned house and did laundry,
and I am going to a party tonight! What more could a person ask for!
