Mindful Practice

Taught by renowned trumpet player

Chris Coletti

As we seek growth as musicians, we are often told to "clear our mind" or "think less." Chris Coletti shares how simply focusing on a clear intention and setting up instantaneous feedback for yourself can help learning occur automatically. He talks about awareness, meditation, frustration, how we can calm a chattering mind, and what insight finally helped him master one of the most difficult licks in Gruber's Aerial Concerto.
