Making Great Art

4/15/2014

 
This is the ultimate goal. Sometimes we get lost in the sea of technical exercises, etudes, tone studies and repertoire. We forget why we do this. Great art is honest, great art moves us in unexpected ways. Here are three simple ideas that can help guide you in your study.
1. Find your voice. Invent yourself and reinvent yourself daily.
2. Push your boundaries, challenge your own limitations.
3. Make a difference in people's lives.
