Thoughts of a String Educator: The RUSHING Epidemic
http://ncssmstrings.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-rushing-epidemic.html
Thoughts of a String Educator. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Is it me or does every darned group of young string musicians rush tempo like crazy? Let me be clear here. This happens in young groups and older groups. It happens with kids that are not very experienced and with very experienced kids. So, in this post, I will try to identify the problem and offer some solutions. I often stop an ensemble that I am working with and say, "Are you going to conduct me, or am I going to conduct you? Those of you that kn...

Thoughts of a String Educator: Chasing That Emotional "High"
http://ncssmstrings.blogspot.com/2015/07/chasing-that-emotional-high.html
Thoughts of a String Educator. Friday, July 24, 2015. Chasing That Emotional High. It was truly a “mountain-top” experience. I had never invested so much of myself into a project. I had never been part of such a close-knit community of artists. I had never been part of such an impassioned performance. I certainly had never garnered that type of attention from my peers and friends for my talents and accomplishments. It was intoxicating and I wanted more! 8221; (I love that phrase and concept!
