The floods are causing all kinds of havoc – thankfully I’m still high and dry but for many life has become somewhat difficult. At my school there are no saxophone teachers available – they are all up-country or dealing with flooded homes – unlucky.
So I went to school after work and simply practiced by myself in one of their classrooms – great plan as I normally get home too late to get an evening session in. Alas this session did not go so well – I sounded terrible! To be fair that is the point of practicing – trying something you can’t do so despite sounding rubbish – I am making progress!
I was trying to play some of the low notes – the scale of B Major is a tricky beggar – so tricky that I spend ages just trying to play B, C, C# and D in the low register consistently – then I started having trouble with the middle register – I guess my mouth was getting tired…
Anyway I’ll try again tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that – perseverance is the only option.
