So, it has been exactly one month since I have posted and it has been because of my recital. In an effort to help my hands heal faster I reduced my computer time considerably, and that also helped me increase my practice time. On the whole, I think that my recital went well. Of course, I listen back and I hear all sorts of things that could have been better, but ultimately it went pretty smoothly. I think it went particularly well since I could only get about 2 hours of practice a day before my hands would start to get funny. Thankfully though, they are getting better every day, and soon I will be up to my 3 hour per day regimen. It's just a slow process.
This week I am on a forced break from practicing. I am not allowed to practice for one week or else I might burn out... or so they say. My friends and teachers are insisting that a break after giving such a strenuous recital is important, so I'm following their advice. I'm filling in all of my practice time with TV, homework, and copious amounts of sleep. The remaining time is being occupied by my addiction to the flute by listening to recordings, deciding what pieces I am going to play next, and staring longingly at my calendar to count down the days until the Panoramic Flutist Workshop and the National Flute Association Convention.
I will soon be posting my recordings on my Myspace page. I will post a link here for everyone to hear.
