That is not helpful. If you don't have anything to add, don't add it. If you do have something to add, then add it.
But telling someone that they can come up with the answer on their own is equivalent to not having anything to add. -William -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, May 22, 2010 3:27 pm Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Alternative to auditions in an amatuer setting William, Not at all. I never said anything like" because I said so." I figured that you seemed like an intelligent guy, and that if you put some time into thinking about what you had said, that you would probably come a different understanding on your own. One thing I should have written, is that all players face this evaluation every time they play- not just professionals.

If I didn't want to learn I wouldn't have asked 'how'. That's why I said... how... -William -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, May 22, 2010 1:06 am Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Alternative to auditions in an amatuer setting -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, May 21, 2010 11:28 pm Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Alternative to auditions in an amatuer setting How? Care to elaborate? -William William, In answer to your question "How?", I seriously wonder whether you are interested in just arguing your point or wanting to learn? If your purpose is to learn, I suggest that you reread your original statement, put some serious thought into it within the context of performing daily ( in a way, actually auditioning daily) for your audience, your colleagues, and your conductors, and I would hope that you would come to an answer to your question "How?" on your own.

" This statement above indicates a stunning level of naivete about professional performance.
