I am in DC helping my daughter and her family and had the opportunity to do some more exposure therapy on the mall of the Capitol with the Washington Monument in the background on one of the videos and the Capitol Building in the other video. My grandson was sweet to video it for me. I haven’t played for a week due to travel and being here, and I didn’t have time to warm up before I played. I appreciate Vic preparing me for moments like this in my lessons. I liked that I went into some hymns and I like that I did it with people walking by. It was fun. I would have improved in confidence and taking more time.

I got my flute back from the shop and took it to the woods to improvise. I had been listening to ‘No Diggity’ so I used that and tooled around in F#. I like how I picked a simple motif from the song to lock in with. Next time I’d like to go off on my own ideas more rather than sticking to the song I remember.

This is short. I need to play more rhythm. I dont play much Latin, learning some basics. I like learning a rythm and maybe some basic idea on how to do it. I liked trying want to learn more about it. I think I need to be more accurate .My tone getting more clearer need to be more consistent.

(one take)

This is my favorite way to practice now!
