Christopher Still is a trumpet player with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He loves his job, but he didn't enjoy the late nights, missed vacations, and other sacrifices it took to get there.
Seriously, Chris went through about 40 auditions, three degrees, years of dedication, and house-sized amounts of money before reaching the LA Phil.
This sounds extreme, but it's pretty common among players in major orchestras (especially members of the woodwind, brass, and percussion sections).
In this series, Chris shares a new way of thinking about practice and time management so you can do better, years faster than he did. These techniques are critical for auditioners, but they work for ANYONE who wants to get more done in less time.
