I’ve been indecisive about taking saxophone lessons again in the last few months. I feel guilty because I haven’t spent any time on improvisation in the previous six months. Furthermore, I’m unsure if I have enough time for the lessons.

But I have signed up for the saxophone lessons. I figured I would never do it if I didn’t sign up. I would never be ready for it if I didn’t have someone to be accountable to because I wouldn’t practice for it.

I signed up, and later that day, Dean (the same teacher I had last year) messaged me, welcoming me back and asking what I wanted to work on. Phew, now it gets real. I’m looking forward to it, but I’m also a bit nervous that I won’t be able to handle it.
