This week has been absolutely horrible for me in terms of music; I have had so much schoolwork consuming my life that it's honestly a miracle that I managed to find time to pick up my oboe. I got a good amount of practicing in yesterday - late at night, of course, leading to an intensely difficult morning today.
Everyone around me is having embouchure issues, too. I'm not saying I'm excluding myself: Monday night orchestra rehearsal was a nightmare in that respect. By the end of the night, I'm fairly sure I was leaving out more notes because my mouth was so tired than playing. Emily, second oboe, wasn't much better. On break, talking with a clarinetist and our lonely tuba, they were complaining of the exact same thing.
I think the music gods just have it in for everyone this week or something.
