I'm surviving!

I'm still in the middle of "Everyday rehearsal or concert period" now. :)

It's 7th day of 10 today.

There are (only) more 3 days(2 days rehearsal and 1 day concert)!! :D

 

It's quite hard to survive this kind of schedule, but good weather helps my mind to be peace. :)

 

 

 

For keeping myself in good shape, I stayed hotel even in Osaka in this busy period.

It was good choice to make time for me. ;)

 

I had good practice at the hotel. :)

 

 

 

Some of my students will have their examinations soon, so I'm occupied by giving lessons.

But we had really good time! :)

 

 

 

After concert days, there was the opera rehearsal which will be performed in about 10 days.

 

 

 

There are more 3 days to continue working.

It's not easy to make it all well, but I'll do it!! :D

Enjoying hard days well

I've been still in hard schedule now.

But weather is nice(too cold sometimes especially in the morning), so I feel good everyday! :D

 

 

 

There were two concerts for school children almost everyday this week.

It's not easy to do, but it's also exciting every time!! ;)

 

I had good practice between two concerts. :)

 

 

 

And there are another concert weekend.

We perform several Piano Concertos by story of Japanese prize novel which is about musician's life.

It's an interesting idea for concert. :)

 

 

 

There were Euphonium lessons at the ESA Music Academy during this tight schedule.

They have their examination in February, so we had really good time with fantastic pianist Rena! :D

 

 

 

Another day, we had individual lessons each. ;)

 

 

 

It's hard to work on both Trombone and Euphonium very hard every day, but I feel very good!!

I'm having very good balance between Trombone and Euphonium! :D

 

 

It's wonderful to eat very nice noodle in very clod winter evening.

I enjoyed one of my favorite noodle after listening concert. ;)

 

 

 

This kind of hard life continues more 7 days.

I try to be in good shape everyday! :)

Bass Saxophone

I'm enjoying happy music life with many concerts everyday. :)

 

It's not easy to make time for my owm practice these days, but I stayed hotel for making relaxed time for myself and had good practice. :)

 

 

Moving by train long time(1.5 hour for each go and return) is hard for everyday concert(in different city and hall everyday).

 

 

I have nice plan to perform solo in Fukui in March.

For that, I bought wind band accompanied sheet music.

I found "Bass Saxophone" part in that set. :)

 

 

It's not common these days I guess even in US, is it?

There are not much Bass Saxophones in Japan(not like Baritone Saxophone), but it would be great to perform with that one day! :D

 

 

It's only one free day(from rehearsal and concert) today for me, but I have teaching task today.

My hard schedule which has concert and rehearsal everyday will be continued by February 3rd!!

After concert on February 3rd, I have free day!!(only one day... there are rehearsals from next day).

 

But it's not usual schedule.

I will survive it!!! :D

 

There are much relaxed days in March, April and May. ;)

 

 

I had great dinner with my family last night! :D

 

 

I charged energy for next few days! ;)

Keep working hard, and keep making nice music every moment!!! :D

Everyday with music!

I was occupied with rehearsals for different concerts last week, and I've been occupied with concerts now since weekend.

 

It was not easy to make rehearsals with different programs everyday. ;)

 

 

 

 

During hard time, I had really enjoyable time with my wife Ai and my nice colleagues. :)

I had very nice "Takoyaki" in Osaka city. :D

 

 

 

And I had happy and fun dinner together!! :D

 

 

Of course, until dessert is the plan. ;)

 

 

 

I try to make my Euphonium time when I'm in busy period with orchestra rehearsals. :)

I'm sure I love both Trombone and Euphonium!! :D

 

 

 

Seeing nice view and blue sky makes my mind calm and peace. :)

 

 

 

Concert days came!

It's hard, but I'll survive!! :)

 

 

 

I left home ealry morning for concert on Saturday. ;)

Seeing sunrise is also good! :)

 

 

Concert was in nice hall. :)

 

 

Another concert with 3 different Piano Concertos on Sunday. ;)

 

 

My hard days will be continued! ;)

Enjoying music life

I'm in the middle of hard schedule now.

It's hard physically, but I'm always feeling big happiness to be musician and performing nice music everyday. :)

 

 

I left home earlier in the morning yesterday.

It was nice to see nice sunrise view. ;)

 

 

 

There was concert with Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" just after H.Rott and G.Mahler concert.

It's exciting and enjoyable pieces!! :D

 

 

 

It's not easy to make time for Euphonium during hard schedule, but it's always important to make good balance for myself for keeping me good shape. ;)

 

 

I'll take care myself and make good music every moment!! :D

Nice to meet you again!

I had free time in the morning yesterday.

I have a lot of things I wanted to do in the morning, so most of them are done!(only practice, I couldn't make it)

 

It was cold, but nice blue sky!! :)

 

 

 

It was concert day yesterday.

H.Rott and G.Mahler program. It was enjoyable one for me. ;)

 

 

One of my Trombone friend Koji came to listen yesterday's concert!! :D

It's cold in Winter

It's in very cold period now in Osaka area(in most of places in Japan).

It's very cold , but sky is nice blue! ;)

 

 

 

I was enjoying 3 days rehearsal for pieces by G.Mahler and H.Rott.

Concert is tonight!! :D

 

 

 

In very cold period, I need to protect my car's front glass from freezing(otherwise I have to spend time to melt them in the morning...).

One of my friend sent me this protector and it works very well! :)

Ring problem

I said good-bye to my holidays and my orchestra works are started yesterday.

 

At the end of my holidays, I finished my All-Black Puzzle. :D

 

 

It was not easy at all!!

I think I'll try it again soon. ;)

 

 

If you are Trombone player, I want to share this problem.

This is "Ring" problem(for me).

 

When you play with Harman Mute for doing "Wow Wow", does your ring make noise?

I have ring on my left hand finger and it makes noise when I play with Wow wow mute.

 

 

So, I switch my ring to right hand when I play with harman mute.

Dose anyone have same problem??

 

 

Orchestra rehearsal from yesterday is in the big hall.

I feel good! ;)

Enjoying my hobby and teaching

I've been loving to puzzle since I was child.

My wife Ai presented me small puzzle few days ago. :)

 

 

This "mini puzzle" consists 120 pieces and it is ALL BLACK!! :D

WOW!!

It's very interesting! :)

 

I'm enjoying it little by little everyday!

 

 

 

That's not easy!

Big fun to me!! :D

 

 

I had good lesson yesterday with two amateur musicians from Shiga.

 

 

It was very enjoyable time.

I love to listen someone got smoother playing and got high notes which never get before during my lesson! :D ;)

Keep working!
