The reality of hard work

I am continuing on my neural pathway journey tonight. Just laid down another groove on the Hindemith March and I am giving my chops a break.

Now that the insanity is toning down, of playing in too many groups overlaid with being very sick, with final projects for my class thrown in - now that things have calmed down just a bit, the reality of practice being a lot of work is driven home. I just laid down that next neural track for the Hindemith and indeed, it came more easily and was faster. To continue on with my neural path-making project, however, I need to do the same with the Panama piece. Then I need to lay a solid track on my next piece, probably West Side Story.

It's so much work! I can't just get bored with it. I need to stay on it, work on it, play the pieces over and over. Work!
