Today was our fourth Google day. It was definitely more productive for me than the last one, because I managed to get some time on the piano in the auditorium. I played it through once there, and then someone else needed the piano, so I played the trumpet part again once without the piano (which was great-the auditorium sounds awesome in terms of acoustics and echo if you can hear yourself play).
Then I came back the band room, as the choir needed the auditorium. I played the whole piece again with the keyboard in the corner practice room. This time, I just adjusted to the shorter range by only playing the top note of some of the lower octaves. When I finished that, I realized I had pulled my back because I had been holding my trumpet with one hand, hunched over the keyboard, so long.
I have definitely made progress, and I plan to start recording the video presentation this month. I'm going to capitalize on those extra weekend days, because it's no-school November.
In unrelated news to Google Day four, I figured that I would upload a
snipped of what the music I am playing off of looks like. The pencil is
my transposition of the left-hand piano part (transposed down a step).
