Just past midnight, so it should still be Tuesday. I had my 6th lesson today. Lori indicated that I am making good progress. This week I will practice lessons 10, 11, and 12.

Notes from today's lesson:

  • Don't move jaw when tonguing.
  • Blow down more for middle E.
  • E-F# 25x a day

    From last week:

  • Make sure tone hole is centered on lips and not too far to the left or right.
  • Roll in slightly if sound is fuzzy - remember 1/3 cover 2/3 uncover.

    The lips need to make smaller noodle shaped hole for high notes to not split. Blow higher or lower if there's a split. I found that high G and F are different from high C B A. High E really needs to blwo downward more.

    Learned slur and F#.

    Shall get a tuner. Lori recommended Korg CA-20 or AT-1, but I can only find the former one, which is replaced by a newer model CA-30. It's only about $15 on eBay. Should get one soon.
