Trumpeter's Lullaby

The art of trumpet playing.. so musical, so graceful, beautiful, and oh so frustrating. This is the journey of my trumpet studies; my quest for perfection, or just good tone.

Update time. Only ONE WEEK to go!

Okay, after a week of rest earlier in the month my muscles are better and I'm back to playing the trumpet 2-3 hours a day. yay! I'm getting really nervous now though because it is a week from today (in fact a week from this exact hour) that I will be performing my recital.
AHHHHHHH!

My what an adventure it has been; last week my accompanist wasn't sure they could learn all of my music so I tried to hunt for another, with no luck. Then Friday I'm awakened with a phone call that he definetly can't learn the one piece. Marissa start freaking out and trying to reach her teacher who is out of town for the week. Just great, I hadn't had a lesson with him for three weeks!! Finally on Sunday I get in contact with him and his suggestion is to find another pianist (with 9 days until my recital? i don't think so!!).
Monday: we pick a back up plan, I have a trio I've composed and if needed we would play this instead.
Tuesday: I ran through all the songs with my accompanist, sure they aren't great but in the end I know it'll all work out. I'm feeling much better now! no more tears!! yay!
Wednesday: I've still got a ton of practicing to do and I must try to do it without burning out my lips.
