Practice Time

Today I practiced for 35 minutes. I spent 10 min at first warming up by playing concert Bb scale and playing intervals. I then practiced for my test which was later today (skills study) and slowed it down in order to play it with better accuracy and control my playing. Then I slowly sped it up to regular tempo which I found much easier than going straight into a fast tempo. I spent the next little while practicing Pirates of the Carribbean because it has a high 1st trumpet piece so I was working on improving my range. I then practiced the band pieces starting with Rhosymedre followed by The Light Eternal and finishing with Rumble On the High Plains. I worked on all the hard trumpet parts working to improve speed and playing the proper notes.
I hope to improve my scales and be able to read them quicker to speed up my overall playing.
