Re: Beginner Finds The Perfect Reed

I say "practice to perform". When you practice anything else, don't you practice it up to the standard to which you want to hopefully perform it? Do you just lazily throw up free-throws hoping that this weekend at the local Y you'll just magically get it? Do you go bowling with some friends and not try to hit strikes because it's not your bowling league's game yet? If someone prepares for a marathon, do they just run half the miles hoping they'll make it come the big day? So why use a backup reed for rehearsals when you want to know how to sound for a performance?

Sorry. Tired man ranting.

Alexi <- who for the record needs to do some practicing of his own. Had two weeks of R&R and it was WELL worth it. But now it's back to putting the nose on the grindstone. One day I hope that this practice will pay off, but until then, hey, at least it kills some hours of the day!
