As a musician, what is your definition of success?
A relatively full diary, and a good mixture of performing and teaching / coaching. Working primarily as a chamber musician, I greatly value the importance of collaborating with colleagues who both share my musical values and can challenge me with new ideas.
What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
Take nothing for granted, keep open to new ideas and enjoy the discipline of creative musical practice.
