From performing I have developed a tool I call resilient attitude. It is the ability to proceed after a screw-up while remembering that music isn't a contest. It actually helps me play better with fewer misses. |
I would also like to add that without a firm foundation in fundamentals none of this is possible. For you to be truly creative and have the freedom of expression you must first learn the language, craft, technique or whatever you may call it. What you are describing is a palette of colors which your technique enables you to use creatively. All of the resilient attitude in the world cannot help you if you are unable to perform at an adequate level due to a lack of fundamental ability. I'm intending here to add to an understanding of your statement and by no means wish to detract.
