Belongs to a 10 years old trumpet player in one of my bands. I asked the players why do they so often miss the right note or the key signs or other information on the page. He answered “because we don’t notice”. He is right. People don’t notice a lot because we are overloaded. But people do listen. Especially if you tell them a story. So we decided to start noticing, to slow down and pay attention to every detail. It was a much better rehearsal from that moment on.
