#flautotraverso

I don't know if it's the change in weather or the amount of water I've been drinking, but the motivation to practice today was INSANE. Since finishing school and moving to Orlando (while working basically a full time job and living in an apartment with 5 other people) finding the time and energy to practice has been rough, along with also having any kind of motivation when I do have the other two. Today I feel like something just clicked and made me realize that since there is no endgame, no jury, recital, concert, or audition, I have the freedom to not only choose what I am focusing on, I also can focus on the things I ignored for those endgames. I shifted all my focus to the music on my stand instead of the techniques that can build me up as a musician. The 100 days of practice challenge taught how much I can accomplish when I work little by little, so why not try that again. Time to just work little at a time and make small goals, and most importantly KEEP MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE! I reached out to friends to help me out on the last part because in the past I've struggled with it, so here we go! .. .. .. #flautotraverso #flute #flûte #fluteplayer #music #musician #workhardplayhard #practice #practicelog #practicejournal #altus #altusflute (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8m5GnngHWq/?igshid=7kc9vk714icr

About to go to my first music rehearsal in many months so naturally I played some beforehand....even though it's a choir rehearsal. .. .. #flautotraverso #flute #flûte #fluteplayer https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DDc2zAmVN/?igshid=149rp3j5cw9hq

National Month of Musicianship 11/1 and 11/2- First piece of music you can remember playing and Favorite Latinx piece. The first piece I really remember playing is Windsor Overture back in 6th grade for the spring band concert. It was so fun and was the fastest piece I had played up to that point at 144 bpm and I thought it was amazing. I still can play the opening phrase from memory over ten years later. As for my favorite Latinx piece, I'll have to say Malageuna, which I first heard as a marching arrangement for the Million Dollar Band. ... ... #flautotraverso #flute #flûte #fluteplayer #music #musician #monthofmusicianship https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X-wEug4v5/?igshid=j24891twa2ag
