Brad, I didn't experience a loss of range. A fluke maybe.

In fact, I sort of ignore range. My attitude was and still pretty much is own the notes between G3 and G5 at all dynamic levels and articulations.

I don't own them all of course.

I practice daily using Eric Bolvin's "The Arban's Method" as a tutorial and also work out of Clarke's "Technical Studies." Now that I'm playing in a Concert Band, I have my parts to wood shed too.

I surprised myself a week ago by sluring part of a C scale from C6 to G6.

I rarely check my range. Almost never.

But I'm 50, and not enthralled by altius, citius, fortius anymore.

Just not part of my mind set.

Happy Practicing,

Richard Oliver
