Stuck for performance ideas
August 4, 2008 06:33
What do you do when you have a performance and you just don't know what to play?
I play every month at a local nursing home. Some months I just don't know what to play. I am constantly looking for new music (I have a VSM account), but at times I just feel stuck for a program. Because of the limitations of the audience (age, endurance, attention-span, etc), the programs are never long, but even a 20 minute program can be hard to put together. Where do you go for inspiration?
