Music, Cats, and Coffee

Tonight, I tried a tone exercise from one of the Trevor Wye books. My teacher had copied a few pages for me so I could try them out before buying.

I played from a middle B-natural down to a low C with a vibrant, resonant tone, full sound, IN TUNE. Took awhile to nail down the tone on the B, but from then on, I could really hear the quality and was able to match it as I descended the chromatic scale. For fun, I turned on my tuner app, and with some additional work, I actually kept the notes in tune!

This is huge. I honestly thought such a thing wasn't physically possible, or if it was, not for ME.

Now I kinda want to go back to school and study flute.

Which is a Bad Idea right now.

Next time I practice, I need to drill down into some measures in the flute choir repertoire that I keep flubbing up. Till then, bedtime for me!
