Greetings Everyone and hope all is well!
"Five Vital Approaches To Practicing" Zoom Session 5, titled "You Become Your Practice" will be this Saturday February 8th at 11am Eastern Time. Donation instructions and Join Zoom Session link are below.
Something to remember...
Most of the people on this email list who know a bit about my teaching and what is important to me, understand the principles that are talked about are not just trombone related. They come from the sentiment of "Music as a Living Thing." Musicians of all kinds would benefit from these principles, concepts, exercises and self inquiry my videos and courses provide. Certainly all brass players could use the brass techniques because they are just not trombone related. I've had many brass players attend the sessions over the years.
Inspiration for the Course
Since we spend so much time at certain points in our playing life practicing alone, it is important to realize we are never really practicing alone! We are always “attended” by our state of consciousness, mindset, attitudes, expectations, moods, successes, failures, timelines etc. and what these attract to ourselves whether useful or not useful. These thoughts create an internal ecology which oversees or governs our practice sessions.
Zoom Session 5, Part 2, is about "We ARE Our Practice." Every moment we live, we are involved in some kind of action. Looking at the physical, mental and emotional parts of our life, we know each one has a multitude of feelings and actions that accompany those feelings, thoughts and sensations. How about the actions of the conscious, semi-conscious and unconscious aspects of our mind? Each organ in our body is playing its role through various actions. Think of the actions of different states of mind when waking, dreaming or in deep sleep. There is always a corresponding physical response to these states of consciousness.
Putting all this into our musical life, I’m hoping that this 5 week “course” has brought participants into better focus through the experiments we did that our thoughts and attitudes play a very significant role (governing role) in what comes through our instruments. We will do further experiments into the basics of playing and find further application and confirmation of the truths, We ARE Our Practice and we can Change in order to Continue to Exist!
Please bring your horns. :-) We experiment in these sessions to bring to life through our horns why and what is being said.
