So i have taken my flute home over the break in prep. for Nationals, which we will hopefully be attending (yn)
Tonight I started out by running through some scales, both major and their relative minor since i havent rehersed those in a while. I foudn this effective in refreshing my memory on what the differences are between a harmonic minor, natural minor, and melodic minor; since i havent reviewed that sort of stuff since last year.
After reviewing some of my scales i ent to the back of the purple book and looked at the chromatic scale there, just for a change instead of playing the chromatic study. I found this surprisingly comftorable to play though i haven't looked at it since exam time last year; it still felt like a very natural motion. After i found that the notes were all still there and comftorable - i worked on getting the scale up to a speed which i liked. I found that i could play it at a relatively fast pace without many errors, and was quite happy with that.
Finally i ended by working on the hols suite, specifically the second section of the first movement where we move into 6/8 time and a new key mostly because the D flat is somewhat awkward to play. and then the second m,ovement working on rhythms as well as long phrases. overall i feel fairly comftorable with the whole piece.
