Things that make me sad (or frustrated)

Filed under Liz's Blog

Not this nice creature – I took his (or her) photo in France and I named him (or her) Bernard.

No, one thing that makes me a bit sad is when we spot mistakes in a new magazine – and there are more than usual in this one. I think the reason could be that we were so concentrated on using new software things went wrong.

Or maybe it was something to do with my friend Bernard, he could be a Gremlin that causes spelling mistakes.

What do you think? We could have a competition about how many mistakes you can find in this issue of Flutewise!

Although I am happy because I’ve just had a lovely flute practice, mainly working on tone and scales. I usually find that I love my sound the first day I play after a break, but the next day it sounds dreadful. Not this time, everything seems to be working really well.

Hope you are all practising hard, but do stop sometime soon and leave a message.

    Have been practicing fairly hard as I have my exam tomorrow, I don’t think my teacher is panicing. Yet. Which is probably a good sign. But equilly I was practicing harder a few weeks ago when I was still working on my pieces and scales, this week I’ve just being trying not to over practice as I find over practice is sometimes worse than under practice. As when you get into the realms of over practice your pieces loose their edge and stupid mistakes occur, but with under practice your pieces still at least have an edge. However no practice is the worst sin EVER. What does everyone else think?

    And is anyone else like me and always has their pieces peaking just before their exam/concert etc. But I am getting better at juding it now. I think. I hope…
