Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized.

To me, the object of practicing is to allow you to play what you hear. But you're always hearing new things, so you never get to the end of it.

I'll just sit at the piano a lot an play like through different chord exercises and kind of just throwing my hands down on the piano from one chord to the next to see what happens.

In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.

Music is just kind of an expression of who I am. It's what I do.

Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that's a lifelong quest.
