wednesday and today. i can't believe it is already friday. i was re-aburrida today, but had to wait till after the siesta time to practice. and then a bunch of people came over, so i played good host and chatted with them. until the headache came.. so i napped.
but determined sharayah still practiced, for an hour, and it was lovely! i noticed that my lower lip is developing its tolerance to the pain of my teeth bearing down on the mouthpiece. i can feel the indenture with my tongue. it's weird.
as steph told me after wednesday, tone is getting better. breathing control also has improved. it's interesting how confidence improves too, because there are still people in the house when i play. i guess it's a matter of getting over what people think about you. who knew? haha
also with steph.. she used to play the sax. she's going home for a wedding in march and so she said she would look for some of her old theory and jazz books for me. sweet!
i've been thinking about the theory side of things. another reason i will need to buckle down and get a saxophone teacher. i mean, i can understand a little bit intuitively as i have played other instruments before, but i want more.
good story. wed + fri = 2 hours morrrrreeeeee...
