Re: What are you working on? Why? How?

im working on figuring out how to actually play im a comeback player and some days i go to practice and start doing slurs and arpeggios and everything seems easy including range. other times i cant play anything and ill have a hard time playing just at the top of the staff. im trying to watch and feel on those "good" days and try to have some consistency. for some reason g above the staff has been giving me trouble since im back to playing. even if i can knock out a nice solid a or c above the staff sometimes i still cant get the g to sound out. practice is a great thing and its taken me a long time to figure that out. i honestly never really practiced all throughout school. very very few times did i actually take my horn out at home and practice fundamentals or anything else. now my career is going to benefit from being a good player and i figure out that getting mad because i cant do all of the stuff i think i should be able to do doesnt make me any better. how about that sorry, rant over.
