Yeah, that's the question I'm asking myself right now... everyday 24/7. Am I a musician, or do I just want to play music? I had stopped playing for a long time. I didn't want to play if I couldn't give it my all. Now I practice a minimum of 3 hours a day and would like to get that to over 4 hours, but I wonder if I'm putting myself in that box he's talking about. I know that I'm a long way from being what I know that I can be (about 2 years), but I keep asking myself "Is that person (me) that I see in the future a pro player? Am I doing the right things? Do I want it bad enough?" I hope so. I don't have to play right now, but I want to very badly. When I think of what I can be I get really excited and can't sleep at night.

"...Therapists employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavior change and that are designed to improve the mental health of a client or patient, or to improve group relationships." Wikipedia

About the only thing trumpet teachers don't do is improve mental health.

Mr. Carroll,
Very well done sir. I think the ultimate is when I want to play, but I know I HAVE to play. Talk about efficient practice at those times! HAHA. I love it. One day I'll even be paid for it! YEE-HAWW!

Keep Blowin',
Tim

Re: A question we must ask ourselves:
My favorite teachers have been therapists whether they realized it or not.

John Rommel
Bill Adam
David Baker
Pat Harbison
Randy Anderson

Thanks for sharing that video Trent.

Thanks for making it Ed. I also appreciated the "What It Takes to be an Artist" video on the same sight.

I am a working musician, who has to continue to push myself to keep up my artistic endeavors. It's nice to hear such positive support.

Trent,
Thank you for posting this. I needed this!-----
Ed,
Your students at CalArts are fortunate beyond words to have you as a teacher. Your comments about artistry and commitment touched me deeply.
I will be sending all of my students to this page on the net.
Thank you!
Peace-RV
