Hi Don,
Centering is a big part of maximizing the consistency of the starts of performances – as in, it’s intended to help you get into a more consistent and optimal mental/physical/emotional state before beginning to play so that it makes it easier to start off from a more familiar place. However, this is just the start. There are a lot of factors that influence one’s performance after the first few notes – from one’s level of preparation, to one’s ability to stay focused throughout the performance. The skills you learn through centering will relate to these other skills, but you’ll find that truly consistent performances will generally require more than just the ability to center effectively.
It may be time to explore some of the other areas of your profile which had lower scores – particularly focus if you haven’t already worked on that area.
