It was suggested that what I wrote the other day was confusing and/or misleading. And considering some comments, it clearly was! So I’m going to try again. I’m going to put this video up again, and just let it speak for itself. Apply it to your own profession or not. Your choice! 🙂
Truthfully, I should apply this to myself. I need to learn to control my tongue. Badly.
… this is what I need.
I’ve had a few mishaps these past couple of days that have caused me to wonder about my words & intentions. Word for the day: caution caution caution caution caution (you get the idea!).
And so it goes ….
Practice Only on the Days You Eat
When people find out I am a professional musician many will share that they, too played an instrument sometime. Most end by saying something along the lines of, “but I didn’t like to practice.” I’m never quite sure how to respond to that because the fact is I have a secret. I don’t particularly enjoy practicing either.
I know there are people who love to practice — I even talked to one flutist who told me she prefers practicing to playing with others, which was just unimaginable to me!
my oboe bag glares at me reproachfully…
