I am always so happy after my lessons and tonight is no exception. My G is starting to come cleanly, in sharp second. It is still a little rough in 4th position, but I am starting to have faith that it will come, slowly, slowly.
I need to work on my legato. It's either too short and choppy, or sloppy and slurred.
Work on my intonation. My A was flat tonight and I am not hearing it well.
In Red River Valley, concentrate on playing the note at the same level through the note, rather than growing into it. I know exactly what Jack means in the context of Red River Valley so if I work on this on that piece I should be able to extend it to other playing.
There was one other thing I need to pay attention to, but I forgot it as soon as I walked out from the lesson.
It was blowing hard on my way home, a warm dry wind. It blew my hair to standing up, from my new haircut, and I loved it, walking home in the dark with the warm wind racing the leaves all around, with my reflectos on each end of my trombone case and my little flashlight.
My hour of playing came from my lesson. Happy camper I am.
