So I had my first meeting with my new applied instructor. I am very excited about it.
One of the things I gleaned from my meeting is that staccato is still vibrant. It is still possible to have vibrato on the fast notes. I must not hold or go straight tone while releasing staccato. Staccato is like a slow laugh. Enjoy it. It is not the abdomen slowly moving inwards with an exhale, but a bouncing.
Funny thing is I thought I was already doing that. Interesting how the sounds inside our head differ from what people hear. Why do I feel like this could be a running theme. "But, I thought I was already doing that." Well I guess that's why I'm going back to school. Education here I come, bring it on! :)
