I have heard people tell me that music students don’t know what load is, they are obviously people who have never been in a music school and experienced it

Yes, whenever I hear people say this, I just have to smile. And I realize that most non musicians have no idea how much practice time and effort is involved with playing at a professional level. Really great musicians make their playing sound so effortless. So I suppose it is a compliment, but I’ve had many people seem surprised that musicians don’t just walk out on stage and the music just flows out.
