My warm-up (yesterday) included some long tones, clark studies, expanding scales, and articulation. I worked on some high horn playing yesterday for a while, namely etude 2 from Marty Hackleman's first book. I decided that since I had focused for over a year on low horn playing (once my teacher discovered after an audition I am a natural on playing low) that I need to get my high chops back in shape. Working on the audition music for a month this summer really helped to get that started. I actually got our some high C-sharps and two of them were real notes with a good sound and not too flat.
My playing yesterday also included:
- 15 minutes brushing up some parts of the Bach Courante that I started learning last week.
- I recorded 6 excerpts on my Edirol just to see how they sounded after not working on them for about 4-5 months. I did each one 2-3 times and some of them sounded a lot better then I thought they would.
- And 25 minutes working on Mozart 4 movements 1 & 3
I think what is going to mostly happen is I will post what I did either really late at night on the same day or the following morning...I just need to get in a habit of doing it!
