What I didn’t anticipate was the help it would provide me

Giving myself a space to let out some of my thoughts and experiences and sharing them publicly has allowed me to feel a sense of relief, like a weight off my shoulders. It has allowed me to connect with people who have shared my struggles, people I would never have spoken to otherwise. It has allowed me to feel less alone, less alienated, and less misunderstood. It has allowed me to feel validated. Most importantly, it has allowed me to turn such negative struggles into something much more positive.

I miss so much the feelings and experience of performing, the connection with other musicians, the connection with an audience, the pre and post concert chats, a feeling of a shared space of music

I know that it will be a long time before this will all return in the same normal space as before, but hope that as players, as listeners, as writers, as promoters, as composers we can create this sense of sharing the same world and can begin to find this our connection in these online formats as they begin to become more common.
