| Lara,
I don't know if we've run into each other yet but I'm a grad student in Greenhoe's studio. Are you taking lessons from him, or Brian? If you are, intervals can be really important things to bring into lessons. Arban's can teach you, sometimes, better than a class can.
I find that when I miss notes, 25 percent of the time it's because I'm not exhaling steadily; 25 percent of the time it's because I'm out of position; and about half the time it's simply a matter of hearing the intervals more clearly.
At any rate, if you want, PM me, I really like ear training, and if you wanted help sometime, I'm pretty much around from 8 AM to 8 PM most days. (cue commercial music: Trumpetmaster.com: bringing trumpet players together for the common musical good.) |
