Mastering the music makes musicians merry!
Happy Tuesday, January 2nd!
There are many questions asked of professional musicians: How long have you been playing? About 15 minutes. Is that a Stradivarius? If it isn’t, I just blew $50 bucks! And the #1 question is…do you practice? When you are studying with a teacher of your chosen instrument, the answer is YES! When you are a professional musician, you have mastered the technical aspects of the instrument. Therefore, professional musicians “rehearse” the music put in front of them so that they can have command over the music, not the instrument. Yesterday’s string-changing for the violin and viola was a success!
In other words, doctors and lawyers “practice”…musicians “play” and violinists just “fiddle” around!
Thanks for “tuning” in…
