Use your time wisely….Also, go to concerts!
Before I play I try not to think too much about what I am going to do, hoping I have prepared well enough. Of course, that is very difficult to know until after the performance and there is always room for improvement.
As a musician, what is your definition of success?
To have been able to communicate strongly with the audience. Not necessarily to have communicated exactly what one set out to communicate, but to have spoken to them in some way that is meaningful to both them and me.
