Observation of the Day

Most people will never get the emotional experience of playing music because they won't take the time to learn their instrument or will be too shy to go all out emotionally.

The greatest pleasure I derive from music is being able to throw yourself into your instrument in a free form jazz setting (That's just me. Some get that playing Bach). And when everything is happening (your technically sound, the other musicians are technically sound, there is a lot of energy...) you get this amazing feeling. But few people want to sit around doing scales to get to that point. And even when they get there they might be to scared to put the energy in.

So on the greater public the complete joy of playing music is lost.
