Coming down ...

Whoooooo ... a whole evening now to come down off the long build-up to this concert. That was intense. I didn't play as well today as yesterday - and actually played a note a measure early once - gack! - but still OK. I'm so happy to have been able to play, and so motivated to improve, in order to do better next time:

• Learn tenor clef
• Continue my work on my ear. It's gotten better. It has to get much better.
• Play with confidence. When I am afraid I will play the wrong note, I play cautiously. That means I don't come out. Why else play? Play with confidence and do everything I can to get the right notes.
• And now just relax ... I've done all I can.
  

Watching Men in Black and toying with my plan for how in the hell I am going to get my assignments for my class done by Tuesday. Notice that I am not working on my class, just planning when and how I will do so.
