Do you ever just take a step back and realize how much you love music?

I spend so much time agonizing over my lip slurs or the tuning of my scales that I sometimes forget, and it’s hard to remember why I do any of that in the first place.

But then sometimes I’ll be counting rests or joking with a stand partner and the realization that I’m a part of something crashes over me, and sometimes I’ll be playing in a concert and a particularly lovely chord will make me think about how beautiful it is that music unites drastically different people in creating art. Sometimes I’ll remember that if it wasn’t for music, some of my closest friends and I wouldn’t have even considered getting to know one another.

That’s why I pour myself into this craft. It’s not so I can play flashy solos and have something to say when people ask me what my hobbies are (though those are perks!)- it’s because I love being present during the creation of something more.

Honestly I am a person who loves the rainy weather, but as a musician I get sick of it real quick sometimes cause I’m always running around with armfuls of sheet music that keep getting ruined
