The Berlin Philharmonic Reaches out to Japan
In response to the recent tragedy in Japan, many classical musicians around the world are organizing fundraising efforts. We'll feature one of the first, the members of the Berlin Philharmonic in a benefit concert just three nights ago. Plus, we continue our series on the art of practicing. This week, Philadelphia bassoonist Daniel Matsukawa shares one of his practicing strategies: always play at least one melody a day.
