Tone is everything!

Always practice what is uncomfortable

Accuracy before speed

You can either LET time happen or you can MAKE
time happen

"Improvement is a matter of time, patience and
intelligent work" (Trevor Wye)

Quality always shines through

Give music life!  Tell the story. Be an actor/actress!

If you have a TECHNICAL problem, find a
MUSICAL solution

Several shorter periods of focused, intelligent practice
is better than a longer session of unfocused practice.

Utilize the four elements of outstanding musicianship:
intelligence, integrity, elegance and emotion
