Lately, I have found myself too caught up the technical aspects of recording and trying to get the perfect performance. I need to get back to the simple joy of playing and letting the music be what it will be. Thank you for the inspiration and the reminders.

I remember my first clarinet teacher always stressing that I learn all I can about the rules of music so that eventually I would be able to take the notes and make them my own. It only took me two years for this message to get into my head the right way. I've known many that can not play unless there is sheet music in front of them. When I played in orchestras, we all were expected to know the performance music before we ever started practice sessions, this was the only way (according to the conductor) that we could get the emotions into the music that the composer intended. What I found is that by knowing all the rules and the compositions, I was set free to express myself through the music as the composer intended, and not be a robot to the pages of notes. I am thrilled that you are here with us, welcome to the portal. I look forward to learning from your experiences. Wise words for all.

Often people let the rules of music get in their way. Know your instrument, let it play for you. Great insight. Often people let the rules of music get in their way.
