Two Ideas About Nerves
These two thoughts about performance nerves are helpful to me.
Performing
All Art Is Good Art
A reminder: all art is good art.
The Moment/The Feeling
What will you remember about this performance ten years from now?
What I Can’t See
Why should we focus on rehearsing details most audience members might not notice?
Phrasing Is Paramount
Joni Mitchell’s Grammy performance this year reminds us that phrasing is paramount in musical interpretation.
The Award Is The Work
Taylor Swift said this in her Grammy acceptance speech.
Choral Code Switching
Today my ensemble had two performances. They couldn’t have been more different.
Ludus Tonalis
Every time we make music, we are playing ludus tonalis.
Open Pre-Concert Rehearsal
Why not invite audiences to your rehearsals?
Celebrate the Successes, Forgive the Shortcomings
Immediately.
