56 Days of Practice
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 4:29 am
Hi folks,
Just sharing a little project I’ve completed over the past few months. In short, when I started this series it had been 56 days since I last played my trombone in a live performance - it was Beethoven 5 on a tenor trombone for those interested!
Due to living in a block of flats, I couldn’t practice without a mute as I just couldn’t face disturbing my flat mate or neighbours.
After the 56 days of no playing at all, I eventually gained access to the church where I am the resident organist and was allowed to use the main building everyday. In order to keep motivated with my practice, I decided to film a daily video showing my progress and... rehab let’s say. Here’s the results.
It’s a mixture of ideas and methods that I’ve picked up over the years as well as a few of my favourite orchestral excerpts and recital pieces. There’s even a few contrabass videos in there too!
I hope you enjoy and find some use from them. It’s been a real pleasure seeing the positive interaction from social media during this horrific time for us all.
I wish you all well.

it's so inspiring. It's so good sound. I hope we will listen more from you. This is a big opportunity to all, old or young, to get inspiration.
