Like you need to sleep, to recover, or to breathe?

But isn’t it amazing how so many fall into the trap of cutting rest to the minimum (or making do without it completely) not realizing that by doing so they compromise the very purpose for doing it!

“Rests allow us the ability to add depth and additional emotions to music through the use of silence. The musical rests also help to support other tools when creating tension, relieving tension, creating suspension and suspense and they give us time to catch our breath.” - Don Rath
