Yesterday was my last show with my concert band. And I also agreed to an extended break from my piano duo. I made a not so easy decision to focus my playing efforts on practice time exclusively. I was very active with these two groups. Often playing and/or rehearsing two or three times a week. Not seeing the people I've hung out with so much will be missed.
Doing all that active playing over the last two years has helped me make vast improvements overall with me and my sax. Especially in my reading skills and improvisation. Lately though, I felt like I've been hitting a wall. No longer getting making strides as quickly as before. I need hit the woodshed and lock the door behind me Hopefully emerge a stronger musician.
Wish me luck.
