BEFORE can help set guidelines, strategize on where you want to go and how you want to get there...DURING probably good if you need to reference something such as a certain chord substitution, leading tone, or cadence etc. AFTER can be fun to just analyze your composition and see what you've implemented stylistically and technically.
Isn't this a case of it's always the best time? We should write down anything we hear in our heads, no matter how ignorant we may still be, and we should keep striving to expand our knowledge - it's a messy business of just pushing forward as best we can. So, I'll go with after, to vote for inspiration striking as early in our lives as possible!
Hey, violin here! I’ve got two big questions on my mind:
For people who perform your instruments in solos (rather it be voice or piano) how do you overcome the fear? I’ve been really struggling with this for a while, and every time I get scared on stage, I end up messing up my piece that I prepared so hard for. I’ve been taking lessons for over 5 years, and yet, the confidence issue has always bugged me since I got into my tweens. Please, any advice is appreciated.
Secondly, (mostly talking to string instruments here) how do YOU, personally, get a good sound out of your instruments. Do you use vibrato more or your bow? Just curious.
