So, I am really proud of myself! Today and yesterday I practiced for two hours and I feel fantastic about my playing! Why haven't I done this before? I am making a lot of improvement very quickly. Hopefully I will continue this two hour practice time deal! Also, today I started in an excerpt group which went really well. Going into it I played as confidentally as I could even though I hadn't seen the music before today. It was really a great experience to play in the atrium and with other musicians(that don't play tuba). I'm feeling good about tuba I must say :)
