Woo Hoo! My trumpet teacher had me play some open valve intervals today, and there it was, high C! It just came out! I didn't strain. It wasn't choked or only half there. It was nice, steady, had good intonation. Even my teacher was impressed.
I've only been back a little over a month after my 18 years off. I've been having problems with G just above the staff just a couple weeks ago. Now, this! I could squeak out a high C in high school, but never this nicely! I'm stoked. I just hope I can still hit it that nicely tomorrow! |

Thank you for the encouragement! I was able to do it again today. Not too far into my practice, but after a bit of a warm up or shortly after a break, I was able to do it a few times today. This has given me A LOT of confidence! |
