The Metric

The Metric by which you are critiqued:

All students should want feedback and critique. Your teacher is not an audience member.

1. I could not hear you,hearing your own music, in your own imagination.

2. This musical encounter has highlighted your own unique technical difficulties and challenges, that you have not yet solved.

3. You lack clarity and literacy in your own understanding of this musical situation.

4. Your presumptuous ego is preventing you from being honest with yourself.

5. You fear not being able to do, what you have not been able to understand.

6. You simply have not spent enough time training consistently.

7. You are impatient, you are distrustful, and you lack conviction.

8. You are not hearing because you are not listening in order to hear. This is preventing you from meaning.

9. So, there are more opportunities to develop and explore your own artistic curiosities.

10. Go define your own work. Commit. Perform something you believe in.
