Evaki - I will relate my own personal experience for you. I would be given a piece to learn by my clarinet teacher and I
would go home an practice until I thought I had mastered it. I was very proud of myself. Next lesson, I would play it in
front of my teacher and I sounded terrible compared to my professional musician teacher. Again, I vowed I would go home
and practice all my faults until I thought I had got them mastered. When, I played it for my teacher, I sounded terrible in
comparison to his playing. After a few months, my teacher started laughing when I played the song and he finally admitted
that he himself had to practice and embelish the song so that he could outplay me. We both had a good laugh.
To this day I cannot play as good as he can. That is why he is a professional and perhaps after 20 or 25 years of playing
I may be as good as him.
