Well podcast, here we are again. I have a great episode for you today with saxophonist and composer Lucas Pino. In addition to discussing his personal story, including growing up in Phoenix, and his time at the Brubeck Institute and the New School, we touched on many important things such as what he would include in a college music program of his own design, the importance of  being aware of your emotional state when practicing--a key phrase that came up a lot during this conversation was self-worth. We also discussed the role of discipline and its limitations, the danger of looking for shortcuts in your musical development, how to practice organically, methods for developing your musical intuition and concept, why hating your playing might actually be a sign of conceptual growth, why he started a Nonet and how he learned to write for large ensemble, and much more.
