Beyond the Notes: "Music is about telling a story. When I was young... came up with stories to run behind whatever piece of music I was learning. My music was filled with little drawings that kept the notes alive for me both during practice sessions and during performances" (continue to read on Erica's blog).

To see a picture or story line in your mind as you play your music has got to help those like me...visual learners?
