Music is Art

In this week’s Awkward Afternoon episode, Josh and Robert talked competition in music. Their overall consensus is that a little competition can be healthy and help musicians stay determined and focused, but it’s important to remember that all parts in an ensemble are important and first chair does not mean “greater than.” If music makers play to compete, it’s possible an important element of music can be lost—spirit and emotion. There’s a balance—Music is art.
