I’ve been having a lesson every week for a while now. For this week’s lesson, the teacher pointed out the following
“To check your embouchure in the mirror without holding up your instrument.”
“Hold your instrument without compromising your embouchure (which you checked in the mirror).”
I’ve always tried to practice with these things in mind.
It was very successful, and the sound was back to normal, so much so that I wondered what the slump of last week was all about.
Once again, thank you for your leadership.
I’ve been taking lessons using a teaching book called “Artes”. This book was recommended to me when I bought my first flute, and I bought it.
So I haven’t used it for the past three years, but now I can play it to some extent, even though I’m still a beginner, so I took out this book again with the meaning of reviewing.
Notes from yesterday.
「音の出だしをもっと丁寧に出すように意識すること」
“I can’t hold my breath on long notes. I tend to push back.”
「長いフレーズを吹くとだんだんと口がばててきてしまう」
However, these are too basic things that have been said many times in the past. We know them, but we tend to forget them, don’t we?
ユルいながらも修行はまだまだ続きます。もちろん来週もレッスンに行きます。今月は毎週レッスンを達成する見込み。
