tip of the day!!!

David, thanks for your recent tips of the day about the 2 draw. I thought that I was committing a great sin by not using the 2 draw much. For the last couple of months I have been doing a lot of resolutions on the 6 blow, all the time wondering if my ear was lying to me or if did work great. Maybe I have a better ear than I thought. I think that a lot of us get so caught up in worrying about perhaps breaking some mysterious "rules of do and don't' that we are reluctant to let the music happen for fear of making a mistake.
I remember Portnoy making a statement that he hoped all the students using his lesson series would experience the feeling you get when the music just flows without the player having to think about it. Tips like the 2 draw tip certainly helps get us closer to that freedom!
