Thanks for visiting!<BR/><BR/>Maybe what I am afraid of is being "wrong" about the expression, since that is more personal. <BR/><BR/>I am going to do my best to stop putting it off and to make my music actually say something. I think that's what my teacher was getting at when I first went to her and she weaned me off the technical exercises and forced me to play actual music. <BR/><BR/>Have a great 2009 too!Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983832246471151350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11519907.post-76441603483676057312008-12-14T14:48:00.000-05:002008-12-14T14:48:00.000-05:00congrats and good luck! that's some pretty impress...congrats and good luck! that's some pretty impressive progress. I just have to chime in to say that it's never, ever too early too start thinking about musical expression, since that's the whole point of why any of us does any of this :) the entire purpose of technique, as I'm sure you understand, is so that a lack of it doesn't get in the way of what you're trying to say. It helps me to remind myself of that. again, congrats, have an excellent 2009!emilyoboehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669456220612426169noreply@blogger.com
