Woodwind Instruments

Your week kicks off early with your first private Instrumental Performance lesson. You've been wrestling with a tricky passage from a Bach suite, and your professor patiently guides your embouchure, offering specific fingerings. Later, Music History I feels dense, covering Renaissance polyphony. The afternoon is spent in a small practice room, your clarinet reeds whispering as you tackle the same Bach excerpt. A minor setback: a squeak keeps appearing no matter what you try, a familiar frustration.
