The concert Bb major scale: the one that made me second guess everything.

We’re about halfway through the semester, and that means I should be about halfway through tackling this instrument that I have chosen. I don’t think I can quite say that with confidence yet, but I can get through the concert Bb scale. This is generally where kids end up after a year of band, so for me to do it in four weeks is some sort of accomplishment, at least.

I won’t lie, this video isn’t perfect. The higher notes on this instrument are incredibly difficult, and it took me several tries to get a recording that was in any way passable. I have been collecting the outtakes to compile later as a way to fondly remember this experience – maybe I will post them at the end of this project.

For your listening pleasure: the concert Bb major scale.
