This may be my first slump since I started. I actually played twice this week, but I couldn’t get any sound. I wonder if I can overcome it…
I am sure that the rhinitis is also affected. I feel that my constitution changes very much when I take that medicine.
Still, there seems to be an effect of continuous lessons. Even though they point out very basic things every time, they are really important.
« 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). »
Apparently, at some point, I was so concerned about gathering my breath and getting it out that I closed my lips too much. That’s certainly what I saw in the mirror.
Also, as usual, I’m having trouble using my lower lip. I still can’t get a sense of where to hit and how flexible it is. I don’t know how many years I’ve been doing this…
こんな状態ではありますが、レッスンだけは頑張って毎週通おうと思っています。
