#lilflutespracticediary

Day t h r e e of practice? Is this real?

Usual b flat major scale, and Crusaders as a short piece. Played a piece that I've been playong since grade seven, the almightly Shackleford Banks. Got it in grade seven, didn't have it grade 8, played it in nine and apparently we're playing it this year? Sure. I can dig it, as the kids would say.

I looked over Mama Mia, tried to play it with the actual song, gave up after five seconds.

Me? Practicing two nights in a row? It's less likely than you think, but hey, I did it this week.

Also, I'm gonna start a practice diary of sorts. The tag is #LilFlutesPracticeDiary because I'm basic asf.

I warmmed up with the b flat major scale, and a 2 line warmup called The Crusaders, then moved on to piece study.

Ok, today's pieces that I'm focusing on are Fever, and Saxes Will Rock! Fever is a well known song (I think?), and a few years ago, we actually had someone sing the song with the band! Saxes Will Rock! is, as the title suggests, a piece that features the saxophone section. In my school's band, the saxes come forward, and make a line at the front, or up on the stage (we perform on the ground half the time), so their part can be projected to the audience more.
