14. En la música, el sonido SÍ importa.

14. In music, the sound DOES matter.

Toni Romera Amador

If you see someone playing an instrument, don't you think it makes sense to hear its true sound? It seems unbelievable, but sometimes it doesn't happen.

13. ¿Quién prueba mis boquillas?

13. Who tests my mouthpieces?

Toni Romera Amador

Why does a mouthpiece that works for a good musician perhaps NOT work for you? A reflection on mouthpiece trials and the mistaken idea of "magical" models.

Welcome to Toni Romera Reflections Blog.

A much more personal space where I share thoughts, experiences, and reflections on music, musicians, and art in general.

These are stories I've lived through, things that concern me about the future of music and our profession.

And yes... also more critical reflections on things I personally don't agree with or that I think we should reconsider.

Without empty controversies.
Simply an honest, direct, and personal perspective.

Because ultimately... music, art in general, is not just heard, played, or watched.

It also changes us internally.

Without further ado... let's begin!
