In light of the upcoming Suzuki Workshops (Jan 18th-20th), I asked Marti what we should all be doing to prepare for the big event. In a word, she said PRACTICE.
P: Persevere through the days, practicing as often as you can
R: Ready yourself with listening to the recordings often
A: Attend (listen) to your intonation. Keep your technique clean, and you will sound good also
C: Consistency is the mantra of all "talented" musicians
T: Technical skills (bow hold) produce great sounds
I: Instruments are to be loved and visited often
C: Choose to be a happy musician--grumpy ones still have to practice, so be happy
E: Energize yourself by listening to the great musicians who have gone before you.
Have a great holiday, and we'll check in with you after the New Year!
