Ever listened to a recording of your performance and cringed? Well, it's time to reframe that experience!

We tend to ignore our bodies' cries for rest, but especially as musicians, rest is crucial to our progress. Let's redefine productivity in practice - from objective reflection to restful rejuvenation.
