So I talked a lot about my approach to music today, and I can't let my text go to waste, so here we go...
(1)Abandon concern for hitting the right note.
Then, hit the right note.

This is entirely true, in fact lately I have been playing music in the darkest environment possible, in order to take away absolutely any concern about the instrument itself and be only concerned about the music, this is possibly taking it out of proportion slightly, but the moral applies.
(2) Music comes from your mind, we too often think too much about how our body physically will do what our mind is thinking musically, when we should accustom our body to the instrument so our minds can concentrate on the music, and let translating the notes to the physical world come naturally.
This is why I believe it is important to practice your instrument to the point of near perfection so your physical disadvantages aren't getting in the way of your musical creativity.
discuss your approach to music and discuss, well, music.
