Hi Ben,

the semi-quavers will get quicker/easier with lip flexibility work (buzz them!) and fingering work. It's so fast that one has to get it to the stage where the fingers move by themselves (what's the term for that...motor memory?). That only comes with time and patient effort :)

If you like, I'll try out some alternate fingerings for the semi-quavers and get back to you (when my flu's cleared up), but I think it fits under the fingers/overtone series quite well on an E flat.

Enjoy the rest of your holidays, I'll see you in a couple of weeks,

Mr Easton
