Flute
Tone is starting to become a lot more solid although this practice showed it’s not consistent up and down the range. Like, with a particular mouth the tone around a few notes is fine but away from there it gets breathy or weak. The Polly Wolly Doodle song with lots of tongued quavers also showed up tone issues. A softer tonguing seemed to help a bit.
From this session I’ve been trying to not read the music beyond the first or second time through so I can a) get into the proper posture (no music stand, just a wheelchair & a cushion…) b) concentrate on the sound c) not be such a sheet music-dependent numbskull. Seems to be working although don’t feel any less a musical numbskull, just yet…
