:) Was just working on William Tell and I have it in my head.
I jumped right in at lunch, did warmup, A major scale w/vibrato, finished out the Symphonie Fantastique Movement 4, and bounced back to William Tell. I am still muddy on the double-tonguing on the C, but was very attentive today at cleaning it up, and having a "t" attack rather than a "d" attack.
I am noticing a marked improvement in my ability to learn and play different rhythmic patterns. The sight singing lessons I have been doing with Rick seem to pay huge dividends. I'm not scared of complicated rhythm patterns - or, at least, not nearly as scared as I was - because I am so empowered by knowing that I can break them down and break them down until I get the pattern. Of course, I knew this before but by doing the rhythm exercises in the Sight Singing book, I am completely reinforcing the knowledge experientially, so it's going into my very core.
25 minutes.
