The Art of Practicing

Every day on PT, listeners can enjoy terrific live performances from around the world. But how did those musicians get to be so good? What kind of hard work lies behind the seemingly effortless performance on stage? In today's show, another in our occasional series that we call the Art of Practicing. Trumpeter Manny Laureano says he's more like a singer than you might think.
