In this episode, I recall my surprise run-in with pianist Leon Fleisher and how he inspired my development of the Deliberate Interference Technique to build unbreakable focus on stage during a difficult performance.

The first episode of Breaking Strings deals with my first disastrous experience with stage-fright during a performance. After going into some detail about the performance, I talk about how I started to shift thinking and reprogram myself to continue with my dream of being a classical performer.
