Next rep: Brahms Double in Paris. Getting back in touch with the beauty of every note before I get on my plane departing Salt Lake City.
This is the end of this round of #100daysofpractice. I started this hashtag and project several years ago. Now there are nearly 750k posts of all of you/us sharing your practice experiences!! I really appreciate this practice community.

#100daysofpractice Day 100.
(2) When I do 100 days — as I have now 4 times🎉🎉🎉🎉 — it’s a commitment to practice for 100 days, post it, think about it, and see what happens.

#100daysofpractice Day 59.
(2) I so did not want to do this practice session. It’s late, it’s been a full day, and I caught myself telling myself in my head, “Throw in the towel for today and pick things up again tomorrow morning.” And then a minute later, “100 days! I can’t skip!”
I’m at the studio today making a video, but I woke up this morning deep in my feelings.
(2) I talk about this a lot in masterclasses, but I don’t think I’ve ever shown it: For me, music is where I put my feelings. I bring my day with me into practice and performance. Especially performance. It’s one reason the pandemic has been soul wrenching for me.
