From Yusuf,
I tried to E/mail you but my E/mails where returned with ‘failure to
send E/mail’ notice on it. I tried twice so I will do it this way.
Thank you very much for your encouragement.
You were right. My music reading has suddenly clicked into place. I
think
your encourageing remarks done the trick. I'm playing some small
pieces(
tiny pieces, 8 to 12 bars) by sight reading now. They are from my
study
book, excerpts from Haydn,Schumann, Brahms.
It is really exciting. I have no idea at first what the piece sounds
like
and suddenly this music is coming out of the end of the horn and I've
heard
it for the first time. That's never happened to me before. It makes
all the
practicing worth while and gives such an incentive to go on further.
Your observations have helped me a lot. Did I mention I live in
England? Where abouts are you?
By the way I got myself a pyramid type metronome and a couple of
books of
study pieces for beginner through to advanced that should keep me
going for
a while. Can't have them till Xmas though. The wife collared them and
said
that solves her problem of what to get me for Xmas. (Spoil sport)
Take care and keep in touch.
Yusuf
