"When they go back and analyze their practice for the past two weeks, what they mean was 'Every single bit has at some point gone like a dream, and I was hoping to play all those dreams lined up one after the other' and that's not how a performance works!"

We touch on
-key moments of enlightenment in our playing and teaching
-how all students are different from each other
-what 'work-life balance' might mean as a musician
-the fact that our practice never ends
