I'm so glad you found a good teacher and the scheduling works out! I'm sure having a Project does help a lot. I hope you do get to perform it.
> * another metaphor that comes to mind often: wile e. coyote, lol. more than once i've had the thought to myself "oh wow this is going great!" when i'm totally nailing a section i've been struggling with for a while... only to immediately epic-wipeout-crash in the subsequent much-easier-section because i DISTRACTED myself thinking about "wow this is good" instead of what i should've actually been thinking about lol. running-over-a-cliff-onto-thin-air energy.
Oh yeah, that's extremely familiar. I was never particularly serious about music, just played in grade school, but when I did practice this happened to me all the time.
