| Re: "Distractions"... Matthew,
A few days of real rest are probably what you need. Be very, very careful, my friend.
My fingers are crossed that I'll have one on Wednesday after a flight back east from 10 days of teaching and conducting (Mahler & Lang) in Los Angeles tomorrow, a full day of teaching, followed by a masterclass (EuroBrass) at McGill on Sunday, a full day of teaching at McGill on Monday, and a semi-full day of teaching at Dartmouth on Tuesday.
Have you ever met a musician who has found the perfect balance? We're either waaay too busy or waay not busy enough (!) I guess, in the grand scheme of things, I prefer the former to the latter.
Best,
