Playing Like Yourself

Quote
Written By Andrew Hitz

"Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself."

This might be my favorite Miles Davis quote ever.  Practicing is essential to both improving as a musician and mastering an instrument.  But sometimes we can all focus too much on the technical aspects of practicing and lose sight of our only true goal: finding our own voice.

I am a professional musician who has performed in over 35 countries around the world. I am the creator of The Entrepreneurial Musician, a consulting service, podcast and blog preparing today’s musician for tomorrow’s reality. I am also the owner of Pedal Note Media, a digital media company. And I’ve seen the band Phish 205 times. No, really.
