Practice

Today I tried something new. Or rather really old. I took just my mouthpiece and practiced long tones as well as changing from a high to low pitch. Next I played a few scales from our purple book working on them in half notes as well as the thirds and arpeggio. I followed this with some work on the trumpet solo of Pirates of the Caribbean which I find sometimes I have the range to play and others I don't. I chose to work on Second Suite even though we're done with it just because I think it's a good piece to practice rhythm and speed. I finished off just by playing through some fun pieces we played in grade 10 music. I practiced for a total of about 30 min and was pleased afterwords.
