These are my notes for what I want to focus on working on now in each situation.
...in sessions....
playing fewer tunes
tackling specific challenges each tune
try to get the whole tune in mind before playing any of it
accompaniment improvisation.
following tunes players rhythm as closely as possible.
... in rehearsals...
lots of prep beforehand
close close ensemble work.
being brave with performance.
ask for feedback.
keeping an eye on time keeping
... in practise....
small chunks to good standards
perfect posture, hand shape.
... in background gigs....
stamina.
posture.
improvisation.
allowing the music to breathe in awkard spaces.
... in proper gigs....
audience focus.
allowing the music to breathe and really aiming for a great visceral connect with the audience.
story teling.
... in teaching....
have a very clear idea of what you are teaching & directing each time
We’ve moved!
