(no subject)
I have a couple of minutes... which won't suffice but whatever I'll type fast and use backspace as little as possible (yeah right...)
I had my first lesson yesterday and it was PHENOMENAL! (I actually played a whole etude...WHOA ahaha) I loooooved it I wanted to talk to everyone about it and I was sooo excited. I mean like I was excited to practice yesterday immediately and still today all the time. Of course I couldn't and didn't do that but it's been sooo great to finally realize that a) yes I am able to project! b) it's not complicated to get great sound c) it's simple and easy to actually play the flute!!! I can't believe how much my sound changed in that one hour. None of this throat shit or chin movement that I constantly want to do in order to overcontrol my playing. Ahhhh it's such a huge relief that I know I am actually doing something right and that I know what I'm doing wrong as well :) You've got to have both forever I think ahaha
So yeah, it was a great day yesterday. AND I have another lesson on Friday and then on Monday again, WHOOOHOOOO! ahaha due to the three weeks of NONE :)
My first orchestra concert is tomorrow, tonight is the dress rehearsal. The awesome thing is that they record the 3 rehearsals before the concert and you get to go to the library and listen to it! It made me feel a little better knowing how it actually sounds... and as long as the clarinets are flat as hell, all should be good :)
Ok, time to bring out my lovely Hammig and make some pissed off second violins cringe for their life haha Although, that's not my real goal in life... haha
Oh yes and THANK YOU LEAH FOR YOUR PACKAGE, CARD, and LLBEAN FLEECE :) Happy early x-mas to you too ahaha
