Re: getting better

Dovod, we have all gone through the same thing. A plateau of sorts, or an envelope; we keep plugging away, and "BAM" we jump to a new level.

The artist's learning curve is like that.

We practice scales, we practice Clarke and Arban until we "own" them; and then we can relax. I've played under some insane conductors, who chose impossible tempos, and the key to success was to relax and let my body do what it was trained for.

Have fun, and keep at it!
