Ivory & Laron
Ivory
I was just thinking about how each practice session feels like a marathon, and I wonder if you see the same pressure in training. Does the pursuit of perfection ever weigh on you?
Laron
Absolutely, every session feels like a marathon. Perfection’s the target, not a weight you carry – if it starts pulling you down, you drop it and keep moving. Focus on the next rep, not the finish line.
Ivory
That’s a gentle reminder. I’ll try to keep my mind on the next key, not the whole symphony. Thank you.
Laron
Great mindset, keep that focus. Every key you hit brings the whole piece tighter. Don’t let the big picture drown out the beat right now. Push, but stay present.
Ivory
I’ll try to keep my fingers on the keys, not on the finale. Thank you for the reminder.
Laron
That’s the spirit, keep pounding each key, and the finale will shape itself. Stay relentless.
Ivory
Thank you, I’ll keep my fingers steady and my thoughts quiet, one chord at a time.
