February is here?!?! ahhh!!!

Sorry about the lack of posts for the last couple days :) Perhaps I wanted to deny the arrival of Feb. (even though my birthday is this month. whoowho!)

Okay, so... back to trumpet stuff: On Thursday I had a pretty good lesson *thumbs up* played my Danny Boy transcription, which I have to perfect for next week- not a problem as I have the notes down, I just have to work on the vibrato and tone now. In addition to that I have to play the first four bars of Angel Eyes in 4 different keys, from memory. As well, I must pick another song to transcribe. ahhhh!!! :) it'll be fun, but a lot of work, I'm scared.

Friday: I had a little more slack day today which was probably good because after a wicked long rehersal on Thursday I needed it! I didn't practice until friday night, but my lips were feeling so good.. I could've played for hours!! but I didn't.. only one.. I did also make up a little "worksheet" of exercises to do everyday, these are based on parts of the Beversdorf Sonata, that way when I get to playing it again I'll have those parts all practiced up.

Today: okay, so I glossed over Saturday.. it wasn't that noteworthy.. just a little more practicing, though not as much as I'd wanted; I did start to work on Angel Eyes (I love that song!) I did a nice warm up so my lips are ready to go for jazz band rehersal, and perhaps later I'll throw in another hour of practicing.
