It All Comes Down to Desire | Hans Jensen Interview

A few days ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with my former teacher, Hans Jensen, for a conversation about some of the topics can fascinate and/or haunt adult learners: talent, motivation, mental practice, constructive self-critique, and finding a healthy balance in the practice room. In this interview, Mr. Jensen shares insights drawn from his decades of truly world class teaching at the absolute highest level of the profession—yet the principles we discuss are just as relevant for adult learners pursuing the cello simply for the love of it. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Highly recommended books by Hans Jensen: CelloMind: https://ovationpressbooks.com/product... PracticeMind: https://ovationpressbooks.com/product...
