The chance to make music, for some, is a fleeting opportunity. To get to the point where we can do whatever we wish with our chosen instrument never comes or it comes with a price. The article attached is a very poignant look at what can become if we overlook the 'prime objective--making music'. The act of colaborating with one or one hundred others is where the emotional charge comes....making music has an impact on what we do and it affects the spirit of everyone who experiences that 'event'. Depending on what place we are on that journey of music making or understanding, will dictate how our being responds to the musical event; the more we understand or have an appreciation for music (of any stripe or flavour) the more the emotional impact will be on us. Sometimes the act of learning how to make music can become the focus to the point of blurring the 'moment' of enjoyment and appreciation, which for many, is what that journey is or should be all about. It is a fact that there will be those who are destined to be soloists and 'top-shelf' performers, but there will also be those who need and should be performing and practicing their art, knowing full-well that they will not ever grace the stage of the Philharmonie in Berlin, or Albert Hall, or the Sydney Opera house. Their thrill and prize may come from a small intimate performance in some bodies living room, maybe their own, when they can reflect on a moment just passed that speaks to them, telling them that what they have accomplished is right for them.
