Staying in control when the music gets exciting
In this Ask the Faculty video, William Westney responds to a question about staying in control when the excitement of a piece threatens to take over. He considers how changing the focus of our attention and trusting what is already written into the music can help us perform calmly and confidently while still communicating its excitement.
Question answered
