Our teachers are teaching us well and we have all of the physical tools to make it happen, so what is the difference? It turns out it is the way we use our brains during practice when nobody else is around. The way the brain learns best is so very different from the way most people go about practicing that the few who do it right seem to have rare talent, but anyone can do it.

Extremely powerful especially the part of saxophone. I know the saxophone piece well and I have problems in the same section.
