Welcome to Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection 4! A Musical Approach to the Basics

Welcome to the Fourth Annual "Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection"! Enjoy and take your time with this introductory video. A set of two more videos will be posted two days from now. Dive in and get your feet wet with the basics!

This introductory video to this summer's work, "A Musical Approach to the Basics," is to encourage a fuller feeling for and connection to what is basic. The simple, core, elementary and fundamental aspects of any subject are its roots. The seed will become a fully mature plant if its basics are taken care of. It is home base, the grounded state where all the later developments find their center.

An excellent exercise is to look at different things in life and find out what their basics are. For example: organic life breathes, whether it is a plant, snail, bird, fish, dog or a human. Breathing is so basic.  And it is also basic in wind and brass playing. It is about keeping it natural and at the same time realizing it is something to be developed into a skill. Here is an exercise:

1. Take a breath through your mouth lasting 5 seconds. 

2. Hold for 5 seconds.

3. Exhale the breath through your mouth for 10 seconds.

4. Repeat this 5 times then breath normally.

How do you feel after this?

Now repeat the exercise in this way:

1. While taking taking the in breath, feel the air as a natural powerful source of fuel for your body. 

2. While holding the breath, feel the air energizing your body.

3. During the exhale of the breath, feel all of your mind and body relaxed and stress free.

4. With each repetition of the 3 steps, feel each of the feelings get stronger and more potent each time.

Now how do you feel?

The importance of this simple exercise is to emphasize how important our minds are when we approach the basics. If we can have a feeling and connection about the basics that is natural and healthy, we will program our minds and bodies to get the most nourishment from them.


BASICS ARE NOT JUST  BEGINNING DO'S AND DON'TS. THEY ARE A VITAL PART OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAVE A MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL CONNECTION. THEY ARE AT THE CORE OF IT ALL. THE SOUL PART. WHERE THE BASICS ARE IS WHERE THE ESSENCE LIVES.
