A Total Musician

Being a musician isn't just about the music.  It's a culmination of everything coming together.  Just like how Tiger Wood's game was affected by his personal life, so a musician's game is affected.  You have to be at your best physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.  Recognizing your weaknesses is a start.  Then recognizing that you need to get the help of an expert in that area is the next step.  Finding people you can trust is major hurdle to overcome.  I've found some great people that have helped me in key areas and would be glad to make recommendations.  Comment on this post whether you agree or not.  Leave me an e-mail at dano@danotman-music.com and I'll reply with individual suggestions.  Enjoy the journey to becoming the best musician that you can be.

What can you accomplish in 16 weeks?

What would you like to accomplish?  Would you like to be a better trumpet or trombone player?  Are you wanting to pick the horn back up after being away for a while or are you just starting out?  Does 16 weeks sound like the right amount of time?  Four months, 1/3 of a year, 112 days... however you'd like to think about it, it's a definite time period.  I think it's a do-able commitment to make, if you want to make some major improvements in your range and endurance.  My course will lead you to those goals, all you have to do, is DO IT!  You won't become a better player by sitting there watching TV.  If you want to change, you have to change what you do.  Go to: http://www.danotman-music.com/week-1-revised-10.html and get started with 16 Weeks to Killer Chops today!
