LIFE…. as there’s only one! And the sheer joy and thrill of improvising on the go, almost like a sailor who has set sail into the unknown!!
Don’t just love your instrument – TRUST IT!! Follow your heart, push yourself, be brave and never give up. There’s no alternative to practice, however realize that music is a way of life – A Religion, so don’t just practice rudiments – Practice your life and draw inspirations from everything around. BON VOYAGE!!
