Hi,
I've been having a go at this plastic practise instrument idea and it's actually working quite well for me.
The book I read about Kalmen Opperman said he really valued rest periods during practise, so he basically suggested 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, throughout the practise, to the point of having an 8 hour practise session, in order to get in 4 hours of actual practising.
I've been thinking a lot about that, and I've figured out a scheme that's working nicely.
I have my plastic Normandy Resotone, that JDBass very kindly sent to me when I was very new on the forum. I have it all set up, with a reed and ligature and a Yamaha mp on it, and I'm just keeping it like that all the time.
A lot of my other work is emailing people all day, so I'm sitting at my computer here, alternating between sending emails and cracking out minor scales, and that is working rather well.
I don't need to worry about swabbing out the instrument or getting it cracked and can just concentrate on practise. I think this could be a really good thing.
Thanks so much for the helpful discussion.
Jen
