Have you been watching the Olympics? The athletes are amazing and make their particular event seem so effortless. My favorite is the ice skating, especially ice dancing. None of the truly great winners succeed accidentally. They all practice and practice to achieve what is expected.
Piano performance is like that too. No one performs well without training and preparation. Many of you are perparing for Pastorale on March 13th. I hope you know that you are going in order to receive the judge's comments and views on your playing. Everyone wants to receive a superior rating, but how hard does everyone work? We all need goals to reach and it is amazing the confidence that you can gain by working and achieving the goal you set in front of yourself.
Have you noticed the family members who support the athletes? Musicians need family support too. All of us enjoy a little praise. It is nice to see your parents really watch and listen to you play without the distraction of a televison or a cell phone.
