Mastery is playing whatever you're capable of playing-every time-WITHOUT THINKING.
Music can shoot through the musician like lightening through the sky if that music is unobstructed by thoughts.
Nothing in music is hard, just unfamiliar.
In fear, we expect; with love, we accept.
In many cases, the decision to study music has robbed them of the ability to play music. They have lost respect for music that comes from within because they have been programmed to feel "unworthy".
Intellect has to surrender to instinct when it is time to play.
