At what point does it feel that your progress starts to slow down?
I suppose this question can be asked with other skills/instruments...

As a progressing HS Student, I feel as if every month, few months, year I am significantly better than my past self. I feel as if my skills keep growing and growing and each day I feel as if I can tongue, finger, and blow better.

At what point does this feeling of improvement start to die down and progress get much more slow and subtle?

I am also curious about when auditions start to be more turbulent and interpretation based compared to just who messes up less. I feel that players around my skill level have like a strict hierarchy about who is better yet there doesn't seem to be a hierarchy among more skilled players as everyone seems to have their own unique strengths with nobody having crippling weaknesses.
