This week so far I took a break after my lesson ended with Katie then practiced some low range for about thirty more minutes then just kind of read through some of my music and listened to recordings for another thirty. I still plan to practice more this week and will add a second entry.

I practiced an hour on Wednesday, and played a little on Thursday at night.

At this point I had my first lesson with Katie. I focused that week on my new jury piece that I received. I practice for a couple of hours partly on Tuesday.

At this point I had not yet had a private lesson yet so my focus on practice was set on pieces I received for wind ensemble

I practice a couple of hours on both Saturday and Sunday of the weekend.

Today we focused on the first full page of HornKonzert. We again focused a lot on style, just on the new section we worked on. I also practiced through a run that was much like a scale. I was also assigned a new exersice from Kling and Kopprasch. I also was taught a great technique that involved air support and my mouthpiece. My range is also improving.

This week I explored more into my jury piece HornKonzert and focused mainly on the first half of the page. Something we focused on was style of the piece and how to implement that into my playing. We also played through a brophy exercise with basically scale runs that would stay in the same key but start on a different note.

I worked on some general exercises, like range growing exercises for example. I also received my jury piece titled "Hornkonzert" by Richard Strauss.

For feedback I was reminded to focus on air support.

We focused mostly on range during the lesson

During the week I'll focus on keeping consistent air support, and proper ombrechure to help reach higher/lower notes.

Exercises by Brophy and a look into my jury piece.

I hope to slowly increase my range, and begin to explore my new piece more.

I will better balance school and work this semester. I worked too much before and it affected my ability to practice often. My plan is to practice at least a few times a week for an hour+ at a time and have a more consistent schedule for practicing so I'm more organized and grow at a steady pace.

Goal One: I hope to better master my range even more this semester and my main focus is upper range.

Goal two: I want to improve on the technical side of music. I have a lot of issues with finger placements and trouble moving them fast enough.

Goal three: I want to start making an actual plan for where I want to transfer to after Mt Sac for music.
