I'm a pianist, part self-trained, part classically trained, and multi-genre
influenced.  This means that I know a lot of classical pieces, but I try to
incorporate music from every other genre in my repertoire.  I play a lot of
gospel and jazz and I can improvise nicely.  I can take a hymn and jazz it
up by adding every kind of altered chord, arpeggio, trill, roll and turn
in the book; but I feel burned out.  I feel like I've touched on a lot of
things like the right technique for playing chords and scales, but I feel
like something is missing.  I'm going through a dry spell.  What is a
musician supposed to do when he or she is burned out?
