Bad notes day

It happens to us all once in a while, even to the best players.

The dreaded and dreadful BAD NOTES DAY.

This is the day when your instrument seems to wince in protest.

When you can't play more than three right notes in bar one.

When your fingers have forgotten all they knew.

When your is dog desperate to escape out of the back door.

Before you give your instrument away, try this -

Slow down and try play just one small thing correctly.

One scale, one exercise, one short piece.

Make one thing as beautiful as you can.

Remember - it's ok to make a racket once in a while,

just not every day! Hz

Listening in

I've heard some interesting music this week.

Can you hear how things are starting to progress?

A couple of weeks back in your routine and it's improving.

Makes everyone happy.

How it's meant to be.

So, how about spending a little more time on your scales?

And that little exercise your teacher asked you to do?

All these things will help you improve your sound.

Even just a few more minutes on them each day.

Bet you soon start hearing the difference. 

Go on. Happy practising. Hz
