Trumpet update: I've now had three lessons, and yesterday my teacher also gave me the book he used to use for beginners, and it's super. I can play whole notes from the A below middle-C and up to the C above middle-C.

Yesterday I learnt B-flat.

Teacher: So now you know your first flat!

Me: Yes! And it's B-flat, which is my favourite flat.

Teacher: ...is it?

It then occurred to me that not everyone has favourite flats? Surely that's not the case!

@poledance‼️‼️MOTIVATION MONDAY: This might be a hot take, I’m not sure. But I’ll always advocate for being a lifelong learner. No one - and I mean ABSOLUTELY no one - knows *everything there is to know about dance or pole dancing*. Learning new things is important and tbh I really don’t trust any poler - no matter how long they’ve been dancing for or how advanced they are - that isn’t continually learning and trying new things. That’s red flag city! In addition, fuck ups are important. Screw ups and mistakes are valid reflections of our learning. POST THEM! Everyone makes mistakes; if you don’t, you aren’t truly learning! What are your thoughts on this?

Two minis I did in class today. I love it that students aren't painting the same photo; in fact we are not even looking at a photo.

Gouache fun continues. Only three colors (red, yellow, blue) and white are used in these, and color mixing magic fascinates me; I don't have that luxury with pastel. They are both supposed to be more gray, but when I try they come out in greens or violets. Richard K. Blades (on Instagram) is a great teacher.
