so.. i can finally make the switch. i breathed in deep, from the diaphragm and not the upper chest of course, and made headway on Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer." i can say that because it was the first time practicing it without changing the embouchure for higher pitch, but rather switching the thumb to another button also known as the octave key.
additionally, i practiced the same two pages from the week before. this time with much better air control and much better rhythm. still want to take my time with those so that i get them close to perfect.
40 precious minutes. i like tuesday nights :)
