Hi Kirst,It's nice to hear from another classical musician! I am a professional orchestral musician and private instructor at a university. I completely understand the pressure you are under...it's not like any other major or career. I can tell you from the professional standpoint that this does not change when you are out of school! The best thing you can do for yourself to sustain the pressure is to take care of your physical and mental health. The demands on us are unparalleled. And yes, we still cannot be late to rehearsal lol!
