Trust that the gaps will be filled naturally.

It is a great skill to be able to simply complex music. Once this has been achieved a leap of faith is required to build on this.

Interestingly. I find it helps to have a bit of a read at the music stand before I play. To get the reading part of my brain helps to calm the body and the mind.

Carrying on playing whilst tired is a complete waste of time. I gotta stop doing that. It just turns into a jumble of nothing.

I should be doing 10 minutes yoga before I practice. (sun salutations...)
Then 10 minutes reading.
then 30 minutes scales.
Then 30 minutes etudes.
Then 10 minutes yoga.

Practicing the violin should be less about the technique and more about the body. Once the body starts to reject the exercise there is no progress.

Playing on when tired subtracts ability.
