love how playing makes me feel

There must be a lot of endorphins released in good playing sessions - I just love how a good hour of playing makes me feel. Washed with happiness.

I am very pleased with my progress and I am looking forward to a good lesson tomorrow. Got through all of my material, plus the little arpeggio exercise (still very rusty on that but I know that the work I did on it today will help with tomorrow, etc.).

I thought about playing in the empty room down the hall and actually went down there with my music and trombone, but there is no overhead light in the room and I could not see my music. I am quite keen on experimenting with acoustics these days, and am still playing in the kitchen. It just sounds great.

On this topic, last night at the Bach Society concert, Dennis was at the mic at the beginning of the performance tweaking something, and when he moved away, I felt a noticeable difference in the sound, just from the removal of that one standing person. I wonder if I imagined it? Or if my ear is becoming more sensitive?
