The Fire from Within

The ability to improvise on your instrument calls for musical intuition - that aspect of your creativity that is often ignored and suppressed in formal musical education. The ability to create musical ideas inspired by social interaction and human experience is at the heart of improvisation. It's the ability to have the courage to create without any concern of what others may think or of what tradition may adhere to. It's that ''Fire from Within'', as I like to call it, that gives rise to (as it always has) the great musical works our world has ever known - in any genre of music. 

For those musicians just becoming acquainted with their instrument of choice, know that the greatest landscape of musical exploration is that deep, deep universe within you. This is the frontier that was explored by the most revered musical icons the world has ever known. Let it be the sanctuary you visit often and know that therein lies the greatest of possibilities!
