Try to find the best teachers, listen to the finest playing, and try to emulate that. Be true to the music. |

The amazing thing is, how far good teachers will reach. I have played for over forty years and since about five years or so I find myself thinking „ah, this is what he meant 30 years ago“. After lots and lots of personal and musical evolution throughout a life time, I often discover that sometimes things just take much longer than I anticipated and also that they cannot always be accelerated.
One way I say to myself, darn, if I had grasped that when I was young I could have gone for a career in music. On the other hand there were things I did grasp quicker that also led to a satisfying career and I can now feel good about being one of the mainstays in the orchestra and about being invited a lot to join groups and to sit in with other groups. _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

You get it when you get it.
Oftentimes, my teacher will tell me things or have me try things that just don't click at that time. I'll understand it intellectually, but can't make it happen physically. Then, sometime later - days, weeks, months, or even years - he'll say it again, and whoomp - there it is. Something happened in my advancement that let me understand and achieve.
You get it when you get it - perseverance pays off. |

His first part is really inspiring. If I were a teacher in that audience, I would come away really inspired with a renewed sense of purpose.
I was always performance oriented and never felt that I was really qualified to teach. (Later in life, I did). But I'm not sure I really caught on to how influential a music teacher can be in a non-musical context. I later would get calls out of the blue from former, now adult, students that made me more aware of this.
So, thank you Wynton, for reminding us of this. And God bless all those music teachers out there who are serious and dedicated and who work under pressures from parents who either are clueless or are just indifferent. And teachers who are who are, all too often, underappreciated, over worked, and woefully underpaid. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird
