This question is mainly aimed towards the professional saxophonists on here but anyone, feel free to answer; how long have you been at the level you're at? How long have you been playing as well as you play today? When did you reach that level and did you ever stop to think to yourself, "Hey, I'm pretty good now. I'm like totally pro!"
I'm just curious because we all start somewhere but not end up at the same place. The best example is physical size. Some people are short, some are really tall. The really tall people, at some point in their life, were pretty small too, even if it weren't for long. Then there came a time where they had a growth spurt and got to be 7 feet tall. Then they finally stop growing.
My point is, for those of you who are really good, have you come to the point in your life where you've determined that you're not going to get any better and this is as good as you're ever going to play? Do you remember a time in your life where you weren't nearly as good, and was there a "growth spurt" that took place? Thanks everyone.
