Hi, all.

I am deep into practice and preparation for a concert this weekend in NYC.  If you’re around, I’d love to see you there.  You can find details here.  It is going to be quite the extravaganza, with music of Bach combined with dance and martial arts from Brazil.  Really!

If you want to read some more thoughts on practicing right now, I’d like to direct you to Gerald Klickstein’s insightful and beautifully written blog, The Musician’s Way.  I particularly recommend his post “The Ultimate Practice Shortcut.”

I’ll be back with a new post soon–stay tuned for Memorizing a Whole Program and my Interpretation Tricks.
