YES! I totally agree, which is why I'm in the predicament that I'm currently in.
My practice has always been performance oriented. I have never been able to practice for the sake of practicing. I have alway practiced with a particular performance or piece of music in mind, which is why my legit playing is so off these days. The last legit performance that I had was playing trumpet at a friend's wedding in 1999.
I'll get it back to where it needs to be, and then my playing will be much stonger overall. I'm already looking forward to the effect that this increased practice is going to have on my regular Big Band and rock band gigging.
