What Do You Fear Musically?
Andrew Hitz
Each of us fears something musically. When you show up to sight-read a freelance gig what do you scan the book most hoping not to see? High notes? Large interval jumps? Exposed soft playing? Mixed meters? Clefs? Key Signatures? Identify your biggest fear musically and attack it head on in the practice room until that very fear becomes one of your biggest assets. Excelling at something most find difficult is your best opportunity to make a name for yourself in a very crowded field.
