| Re: How not to succeed
Wow... Thank you...
I know this thread is ment as a joke, but I've suddenly realized that I've been doing 3 out of 4 of these things, I never realized it till just now...
1) I never stick to a method... For example, I jump all around the Arbans book, but never really "master" anything.
2) Haha, I do that one! I just don't follow though with number 1...
3) I was always taught to breath with "the bottem of my lungs" and that "sticking your belly out" was actualy a good thing to do, that it builds up pressure to keep a stedy airflow... is this wrong? should I not do this? And I find myself practicing on my pencil all the time... kind of sad actualy.
4) This is my biggest issue. I use differant mouthpieces for differant playing. For example Concert Band = 1C, Marching Band = 3B, Symphony Orchrestra = 7C... Should I just stick to the 1C all the time?
But seriously, thank you for that post... it really put it all in perspective for me. I need to work on that...
