cornet debut :)
yes, sunday marked a successful performing debut on the cornet. even though i didn’t think i played well, but at least now i know i can hit notes better, and that has really boosted my confidence! 1 1/2 months of practising in between events, band teaching, resting at home etc, it’s paying off. i shudder to think how i’d sound on the clarinet now; i shouldn’t be that far off lah. but anyway, i’ve got much to improve too, since my range is extremely limited (low and middle registers, occasionally an F) and my pitch is not that stable yet.
Leonard thinks i’m brave to play cornet with my students. haha. for all i know, maybe my students have already laughed at me behind my back for daring to play even though i sound so crappy. haha!
these few days have been really tiring for me. sometimes i really don’t know why. perhaps it’s because i’ve been travelling to too many places to teach and to do other things. travelling drains me out. oh well.
ok, guess that’s all the concentration i have left. more updates later. i’m beginning to love playing the cornet! but the clarinet is still my favourite lah
