So today I had the Mingus ensemble and there was a huge improvement in my playing and the overall sound of the ensemble! There was so much energy, and it made the music so much more fun and uplifting! Everyone was smiling the whole time! Sure it wasn't perfect... but the attitude was certainly there! Thanks to everyone for their amazing advice! I think my reflections this past week will forever change how I approach the instrument!
Cheers!
