#3: Posts you're loving including 8 mistakes to avoid + 3 things Tiffany wishes she embraced in school
 
Tiffany here! Last weekend my husband and I drove to Tahoe to see Ixi and her family while she played the final concerts at Classical Tahoe! 
 
It was great to see her of course, and the orchestra sounded wonderful, but it was also great to go to Tahoe for the first time. It’s a place everyone talks about around San Francisco… “Oh, have you been to Tahoe?”, “Oh, sorry I can’t, I’m going to Tahoe.”
 
We didn’t really understand the hype but um… now we do. Enter this dream scape:

I like working and I like routine… so it’s easy to not want to leave those things and go do other things! I also traveled so much last year that this summer I have pretty much stayed put except for a trip to Cincinnati (remember?!).
 
But, I was reminded this weekend of the importance of getting a fresh perspective. 
 
It’s so crucial to our development as humans, to remembering what to be thankful for and for bringing back and sparking new inspiration.
 
When output is hard, chances are you need input
 
A change of scenery is sure a good way to get it. But, how else can you get that new, inspiring input? A new book, watching a class, going outside, listening to an expert that you've never heard from before… how can you make a fresh perspective happen this week?
 
// 7-Day THRIVE Challenge! // 
 
Speaking of a fresh perspective - yes, we love the clarinet! And many of you are here because you want advice about Beethoven 6, embouchures and more. That's great and we love teaching you those things! 
 
But, we also want you to take those skills and build on them so you feel fulfilled, empowered and ready to take the next step on your musical journey - amping up your practice & performance, developing business & career skills – all while staying HEALTHY! We PROMISE working on these things at any stage will help your clarinet playing. 
 
So we made the 7-day THRIVE Challenge
 
It’s 7 30-min classes between Aug 15-28 and we're teaching LIVE because we want to connect with you. It makes a big difference! Your teachers are me, Ixi, Ted (cellist, Ixi's husband) and our new THRIVE co-host, Nick Photinos (founding cellist of Eighth Blackbird, human extraordinaire)!
