learning new music

Yesterday I felt like I set myself up for a better practice today.  I began my session with a couple of lip buzzing scales.  Then I decided to work on improving and relaxing my upper-register so I did a few Ah Eh Ee Oh Oo  arpeggios for as high as I could stand it.  Its sounding really good.  I have half of my Ave Maria learned pretty well, so I reviewed what I had taught myself the day before and moved on to the rest of the song.  Now...all i have to do is memorize it! yay!
