Ever on the "Ti"... toward positivity in educating, musicking, and being. Susan Gedutis Lindsay is a musician, writer, and music educator who survives by finding the humor in every day—especially in things that really aren't supposed to be funny.
Almost didn't practice yesterday. Then one of my doe eyed students asked if I had put my time in. I couldn't lie. So I did a brief warm-up followed by a bunch of sightreading of cello music. Wish the trombone was as agile as the cello when it comes to dropping octaves and 12ths.
Today I finally dug out all my old music from undergrad. I didn't know I had so much. And I found my old daily routine. Couldn't get through it at 21 - still can't. Gotta find something better. But the bottom statement is worth remembering - All major/minor scales - 2 octaves, All major/minor arpeggios - 2 octaves.
Next post I may bring up conductor practice - and what is 'practice' anyway?
