Q: Advice for when music won't flow properly? like i'll play a piece I know sūper well but it just doesn't sound right, or robotic or clunky. How do you work through/around this??
A: you have to believe you made it up. not only that, but you have to also believe you are making it up, at the moment you are playing it. you have to believe you are improvising it. if your playing sounds scripted, try improvising for a while. Then go back to the scripted piece and imagine you are playing it for someone who has never heard it before. think of a specific person in mind
