how to nail excerpts consistently
why can you still screw up excerpts after hours and hours of practice? in today's video, i'm showing you my "back and forthing" method, which is exactly how i develop consistency for auditions. it's how i practice so that i can trust that the right thing is going to come out, every time.
(or in today's case, the lick from hell™ from The Hours at the Met Opera.)
