End of term break

Whilst many other institutions are busy having examinations and regular lessons, we are blessed with a one week holiday. Though it sounds nice, the one week break is actually an excuse for lecturers to flood us with make-up lessons and mock exams.

I had a lesson with Mr Richard Adams today. He fixed my embouchure, shifting the anchor point to right below my lower lip. The sound was immediately in focus, though near the mid-high range, some distortions in the sound came through. This is my third embouchure tweek in the past one year. About time I stabilised and start making some progress.

Then there was sight singing lesson, which was a total bore. It tore up the rest of my motivation and energy for the day and the end of it saw me in a grumpy mood. A short nap put some life back into me but it was not until much later when I returned to my normal energy level.

CNL concert is tomorrow. Nothing much to be said about that, save a few word of thanks to Dax for asking us down to play. All the best to the performers tomorrow.
