Yesterday we had an awesome practice for a Chinese New Year event that's happening on 1st feb in school.

Mike really made us emote every note. Groove everything.
Something I didn't really do for practices because I told myself I'll do it when I'm performing.

Usually it works during performance

But this has brought some new light to my practices. My personal prac does include feeling every note. Not mindless playing.

But yesterday prac was just great. We listened to each other and emoted.

Something I feared of doing to others due to my fear of imposing unacceptably high standards
