Tom Hooten on Finding the Sweet Spot When Practicing

Practicing
Written By Andrew Hitz

This video is by the incredible Tom Hooten, Principal Trumpet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

He talks about practicing in the sweet spot, which he defines as "having the conviction and patience to practice from a happy place." He then explains how to do that.

He packs an insane amount of insight into a video that's less than 10 minutes. Enjoy!
