Diane brings a unique perspective to to the world of performance.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">In this conversation we talk about:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">• How Diane rose to great success in the clas<span class="s1">sical world, then put aside her violin completely - and returned to it later in an</span> innovative way.</p> <p class="p1">• The specific practical steps you can take to find your own connection with a piece of music.</p> <p class="p1">• The three components of getting into “flow” state - only one of which is normally covered when you hear about flow.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">You’ll be excited to apply Diane’s fresh ideas to your own practice and performance.
