Your practice hours are the ones you drill. But you can make the "looser" hours count too...from keeping the standard excerpts in your fingers, to using an easy film score as intonation work. See how David Kim thinks about staying "ready."
In this extensive conversation between David Kim and tonebase's own Eric Silberger, Kim shares how his practice schedule evolved from his childhood to now. He has become more of a practical player over time, focusing on the minutiae of his technique to keep his playing healthy. Working with (and leading) a symphony requires a unique set of skills but has much in common with soloistic playing. Kim shares how to get through some of the ups and downs of a career in music, and why a learner’s mindset is so crucial.
