Recovery and Cram Practice

Author: Stingerbee5000

Hello! I am a junior in high school and have followed this board since I started and have always found good advice and thought it was nigh time for me to sign up.

About a month ago, my lung collapsed and I was forced out of action and did not really touch my clarinet for three weeks.

I am now cleared for all activities and have begun to try and catch up.

However, there is a competition in 19 days which I would really like to try out for and have done fairly well in previous years.

I did have the music well under my fingers before I had to stop and have found that it is still pretty ok.

However, with the time crunch, I was hoping to know if anyone had advice for 'cram practicing', especially with articulation and finger-tongue coordination which always degrades the fastest and is the hardest for me to build up. My teacher has suggested an extensive and rigorous routine but being in school and busy with tests and etc, I was hoping to learn how to streamline my time.

I really would just love to do my best in the face of this and show everyone what I've got and I earnestly thank you in advance.
