Thank you for all the warm contact with people of all kinds as they pass. The sound the clarinet was superb for most of the time. Only when a tentative approach with new pieces did the playing take a dip.
A lack of nervousness makes a marked difference to the playing. It's great to be aware that the performances are clearly improving. Playing without a a backing track went well . The accompaniment needs to creative and interesting - a lovely challenge.
Practise at home leads to a lovely interaction- young children are particularly curious.
Another £3 for the Lantern Procession! And great fun doing it. This is a lovely way of making contact with the public.
