WHen I have an unusally hard Recital or Jury (sr. is coming up) I don't run through the part on my horn. I read through it and make mental notes before. A couple of minutes before I go in to play, I make myself relax. I just think about my toes relaxing, when they do I just work my way up the body... almost like meditation. Then some light breathing exercises. These things also help to keep your mind off that one part that you should have practiced more, if you know what I mean. If I had only known that my freshman year huh??

As for your teacher, I agree with everyone else that has said just talk to him. Explain that you think you are busting your butt to do this.. show me what I need to do differently and how to do it. All the teachers I have had have been MORE than willing to do this. As with all other relationships, conversation is the key.

Good Luck,
Jay
