REMINDER: FBSMC 16, ZOOM SESSION 9, TOMORROW 8/1/24 11am EASTERN

Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection 16 FBSMC 16) Making Your Practicing a Time of Connection and Discovery! Zoom Session 9, will be tomorrow,Thursday August 1st at 11am EDT on Zoom. Zoom Invitation is included below under Join Zoom Session.

Zoom Session 9 is called "MIND INFORMING MATTER or MATTER INFORMING MIND?" Matter in this case means our physical body. The mind can control the body voluntarily and the body can control the mind involuntarily. They are a sacred duo capable of extraordinary things when aligned with purpose! We will dig into this duet we play all the days of our lives and see if we can become more aware of which one is "playing the first part" and which one is "playing the second part." We will engage in some meditative processes to help us tune into each of one of these"players." Again, it will lead us into the Overlay System.

FBSMC 16 Video 6 will probably be uploaded to YouTube in the next day or two. It will be about remembering (or by "stumbling upon" something that was beneficial to your playing that you haven't done in a while. (Just happened to me a couple of days ago!)

FBSMC 16 "Making Your Practice Sessions A Time of Connection and Discovery!" requires a donation of $10. The donation instructions are below* If this is really going to be a strain for you, please get in touch with me and we will work something out. Donations can be sent out before the session begins or soon after the session has ended. Thank you in advance!

***Companion Notes- I will send out an email when they are ready and of course anyone can purchase them. They are not just for those who attended the Zoom Sessions. Price to be determined.

FBSMC 16, Zoom Session 8, "Mind Informing Matter." 7/25, 11am eastern and Video 5 uploaded to YouTube called "Embrace The Present"

Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection 16 FBSMC 16) Making Your Practicing a Time of Connection and Discovery! Zoom Session 8, will be Thursday July 25th at 11am EDT on Zoom. Zoom Invitation is included below under Join Zoom Session.

BRING YOUR HORNS! Zoom Session 8 is called "MIND INFORMING MATTER." Matter in this case means our physical body. This is a huge part of our work in any Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection season. For all of you who have been participating, this point has been experienced. The mind's capacity for connection is limitless compared to just working at the level of the physical machine. Mind and body are a sacred duo capable of extraordinary things!

FBSMC 16 Video 5 is now uploaded to YouTube! It is called "Embrace the Present." In Video 5, I create a trace of thought from equipment changes, not living in the past, embouchure mapping, mouthpiece pressure, finding your current art and much more! Question: How can you find your current Art if you are living in the past and not updating yourself about yourself??/

Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection 16 FBSMC 16) Making Your Practicing a Time of Connection and Discovery! Zoom Session 7, will be Thursday July 18th at 11am EDT on Zoom. Zoom Invitation is included below under Join Zoom Session.

BRING YOUR HORNS! Zoom Session 7 will get into ways to foster and build your creativity through connection to some basic principles. Creativity is a natural gift. it is a matter of activating it! We will also look into Bolter Embouchure Anatomy and some of my recent discoveries in how to help notes that want to quiver. HINT: It has to do with lines and points. :-)

FBSMC 16 Video 4 is now uploaded to YouTube! It is called "Being Creative." I take a look at notes that can quiver in detail from the perspective of Bolter Embouchure Anatomy. There are many techniques to help with shaky notes but in the video, I point to a certain range in my playing where it happens and what I discovered to diminish it. I also talk about what are the possible blockages to a creative process.

FIRST -EVER FBSMC IN-PERSON SESSION- JULY 9TH 12PM in BOSTON!

Greetings!

I'm happy to announce that our first Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection in-person session will take place on Tuesday, July 9th, at 12 noon at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, 8 The Fenway, in the Opera Studio (room 406).

Since this session will be in-person and will go from 12-1:30pm, the donation will be $15. The donation instructions are at the bottom of this email. Please pay before the session. Thanks in advance!

I'd like to start right on time, so please do what you can to arrive in a timely manner. This will help facilitate the session. Thank you!

I'm looking forward to seeing all who can attend. Since it is in-person, we will have the opportunity to experiment with the new concepts and techniques in the spirit of FBSMC 16 "Making Your Practicing a Time of Connection and Discovery!"

This means that we can all play some things together and independently to see the difference when the new techniques are applied. This will be really alive, interesting, insightful and fun! We will also have more time for group discussion.

*Please forward this email to friends, students, professionals, teachers and anyone you feel who might be interested.,

Since this is the first time in 16 years that the Frequency Bone Summer Music Connection is being held in-person, it is unique in its history! I hope to see those who are interested attend this event. Perhaps more of these in-person sessions will be able to happen throughout this summer and become part of the FBSMC in future years. We will see what unfolds..

Best wishes to all and Happy Independence Day. AND, in the spirit of this important holiday in American history, I made FBSMC 16 video 3 titled :

"Independence + Dependence = Interdependence."
