Re: The musical maturity required for solos

I also disagree with the statement that it's "too mature for highschool". I don't know what your teacher was trying to say, but if it is worth playing, it is worth playing in high school. Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone is giving you good advice, and when they are just being discouraging. Helpful criticism is enabling. IMO people put too much emphasis on getting everything right the first time. It's usually better to just go for it.

It's awesome that you are playing Poulenc! It's ok if you are somewhat intimidated, or if it doesn't sound quite as good as you would like. You have only been playing two years. That's a great accomplishment! Keep working!

It's ok to go on to something new right now, since you did well on Poulenc. You will learn new things with each new piece. You will also keep going back to the same things over and over as you improve. Don't worry too much about whether you are ready, or mature enough. Always give it a try, no matter how intimidating. That's how you learn.

You can show respect for the music by learning it.
