It doesn't matter where you came from or who you studied with. When you make it a priority to put in the work, there are no limits to where your horn can take you. It is very simple, but not easy. It's about maximizing Your God-given potential. Playing without limits is a state of mind. Do not limit your playing to what you've been told the horn can or can not do. Develop unlimited technique, unlimited endurance, unlimited dynamic range, and unlimited tonal colors. Then use all of these tools to express yourself fully, and to be Bold in your interpretations. You'll never know how far you can go, unless you try to go too far. Play with Conviction, Play with Passion, Play Without Limits! J.L. "Play Without Limits" clinics are informative, interactive, inspiring, and relevant to all musicians. Contact us about hosting a "Play Without Limits" clinic. |
