To unleash yourself, ask yourself what’s holding you back? What is this “leash?” You see, all the clues are there in your language. If I had to guess for you, I bet the only things holding you back are skills and time. So put more time into polishing your skills and improve your musicianship.

Finally, get a mentor. Agree with yourself that you’ll always need to improve as a musician and then get the coaching that works for you. You’re never done learning!

I hope that helps.

The above is really interesting!
I’m a teenage trumpet and piano player and for sometime now i have been hugely fascinated with the seemingly infinate abilities of the mind.
Even more than performing and playing music i love writing it! I love Beethoven and Mendlessohn through to Debussy, Ravel and some shostakovich.
I have been told that i am probably the best composer that my music teacher has taught but i am never satisfied with what i write and it really annoys me.
I want to write something big but i am constantly having trouble expressing myself musically and really unleashing my musical creativity. I feel like i’m being held back by something and i want to get past it.

Is there anyway i can ‘hack myself’ to be a more creative and expressive composer and really ‘unleash myself?
Any tips? Suggestions? Ideas? etc

Thanks Graham and Keep up the Good Work!
