I’ve been having a lesson every week for a while now. For this week’s lesson, the teacher pointed out the following
« To check your embouchure in the mirror without holding up your instrument. »
« Hold your instrument without compromising your embouchure (which you checked in the mirror). »
I’ve always tried to practice with these things in mind.
It was very successful, and the sound was back to normal, so much so that I wondered what the slump of last week was all about.
Once again, thank you for your leadership.
I’ve been taking lessons using a teaching book called « Artes ». This book was recommended to me when I bought my first flute, and I bought it.
So I haven’t used it for the past three years, but now I can play it to some extent, even though I’m still a beginner, so I took out this book again with the meaning of reviewing.
Notes from yesterday.
「音の出だしをもっと丁寧に出すように意識すること」
« I can’t hold my breath on long notes. I tend to push back. »
「長いフレーズを吹くとだんだんと口がばててきてしまう」
However, these are too basic things that have been said many times in the past. We know them, but we tend to forget them, don’t we?
ユルいながらも修行はまだまだ続きます。もちろん来週もレッスンに行きます。今月は毎週レッスンを達成する見込み。
