I must be on a theme of percentages lately! The last post made me think about how we have to always strive for a goal of 100% in music - we need 100% attendance at rehearsals and performances to be successful giving 100% effort in order to achieve as close to a 100% accuracy on our music as possible!
Will we achieve 100% accuracy? Probably not. But we need to push ourselves to do our very best each rehearsal which will translate into an excellent performance. Here is the equation you need to know: Concert Performance = average of performance during rehearsals. How scary is that?
Think of how 100% is applied to other things. How many pro basketball players or teams shoot 100%? If a team shoots 65% from the floor they are said to be having a "great game." If we settled for 65% accuracy on notes and rhythms we wouldn't sound very good!
Thank you for striving to give your best everyday. The word that pays this week is 100%.
