| The Plague!
Greg, what you are experiencing is what plagues my trumpet playing always. I struggle to keep my bad habits at bay, many times unsuccessfully. Thanks for posting about this.
A question for anyone here (Especially Mr Laureano!)
What do you do on those days where nothing seems to be working, and not playing just seems like a total waste? Yesterday I couldn't play at all. I sort of blew it off as one of those bad days that sometimes happen, but I'm also going through a bit of a rough period where it seems to happen too frequently. When there are days where things just arnt working, what do you do to #1 help fix the problem ( for me the problem is just lack of any sort of range, and my chops just dont produce any sort of sound) and #2 when you finish whatever studies or drills that you do, what do you do to ensure that you dont just take days off and take your playing back another step?
Thanks for all your help!
