Sax (30mins)
Warmed up on Abracadabra songs 17-19 from last time aiming for accurate cresc./dim. and piano to forte on 19. Pressed on with new ground: songs 20-25 with new notes D and Bb. Focussed on tone and getting C/D with accurate pitch. My ear’s definitely getting better/more confident (not sure which) in that I know when it’s wrong. When it’s mostly right I’m still not sure where it’s off though.
Song 21 (Winter Goodbye) was a challenge for some reason. Specifically, b4 (c4 d4) d4 c8b8 c4 a4(b4 c4). Got it in the end though.
Quarter of the way through the book and I’m being able to play actual recognisable tunes e.g. “When the saints go marching in”, “Theme from New World”, “Polly-wolly-doodle”, which is satisfying.
Tone and consistency is definitely much better too.
