Thank you so much for your advices, Dr Lauridsen.

Excellent advice for all musicians of any age.

Profound and timely advice. I am not a musician in any way, but a writer, and his words about staying the course and not being distracted from our work was something I needed to be reminded of today. Thank you- your words are what I needed to keep moving forward. -Cora Blue

Wise Words. (DO what is INSIDE of ME… honest music.) And micro decisions Matter.
