8AM in NYC

wiseone2 · 02-04-2008, 08:07 AM

It's 8 am in NYC.
I have just played a scale from low F♯ to a high F♯.
In deference to my neighbors, I am using my Brass Spa practice mute

A 3 octave scale at 8 in the morning. Before or after coffee Wilmer?

Regards,

Trevor

Before coffee.
I have played a quick half hour this morning. Today is going to be a long one.

Shouldn't your neighbors be up and out by 8 am? If they're still lazing around, they deserve a good ff 3 octave scale

The last week or so I've began every day with about a half hour of Bach chorales and Clarke studies. No coffee needed.

Pablo Casals began his day pretty much the same way. He was asked about his practice methods by a Marlboro participant at lunch, and he answered "Bach on the piano." After playing the piano, he worked on tuning on his cello.
He was meticulous about pitch. Casals said that he was one of the first in-tune Cellists! He worked on connecting notes in tune, and by his description, he worked one note at a time.
Casals practiced every day until he died.

As much as I love you like a big brother I never had; had your early AM practice sessions disturbed my ZZZZZZZZ's, we would most definitely have to sit and talk at Juniors on Flatbush while consuming the best cheese cake known to mankind. :)

Back in the day when Sonny Rollins resided on Willoughby Walk in Fort Greene,Brooklyn,his late night practice sessions drew a large gathering including my 'Ripple' drinking friends.

Allow me to digress for a brief moment but I wish most young soprano sax players learn to play the instrument 'in-tune' like a Steve Lacy,et al .
