What an understatement! But can we find ways to find the flow inside of ourselves so even in the midst of the difficult challenges we can keep moving.</p>
<p>Here is where that wonderful word <i>attitude</i> comes in. For the "right" attitude can do wonders in creating a bigger view in ourselves of the phrase "go with the flow". This kind of flow has found a way to love the process even in the face of what feels to be a lot of resistance getting in the way of our progress. If we can find a REAL attitude of love of the journey (yes, there will be discouraging moments, weeks, or months sometimes when it feels like nothing is happening or it even gets worse) to still be moving in ourselves with the accompanying attitude <b><i>"when there's a will there's a way and another way!"</b></i></p>
<p>It helps, depending on where you are in your journey, to have a sense of "going slow to go fast." This means being in the moment of <i>here and now</i> so you can embrace where you are at and truly BE with it. My great lesson in this was when I injured my chops from WAY TO MUCH playing of a certain kind. I was put into a position with no choice but to surrender to what was actually going on and find the means to deal with it and heal. It was one small step at a time that eventually got me out of my predicament. It took 4 years and a whole restructuring of my embouchure. I never even took off time from playing in the orchestra or quintet.</p>
<p>But with an embouchure change that big, you lose and gain at the same time. It may also challenge your identity as a player, especially if you got known for certain attributes in your playing that may not continue to be there in the same way with your new set up (even though some aspects of your playing may improve. An example would be if you had an identity with a certain quality of sound. That sound might not be there in the same way with your new structure. This makes us look at our "mental" embouchure. A very necessary component!</p>
<p>We can see from this that a change is made up of many specific parts that need adjustment and repositioning. The power of a person's determination in how they approach this delicate territory is what will make the difference. The human will is a vital participant in this endeavor. Patience will turn into the a special kind of flow if it is coupled with hope and maintaining one's love of music. The "equation" could look something like this; Love + Hope + Acceptance = <i>Flowing Patience.</i>Norman Bolterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270610854959695332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942687343792372926.post-26271315547712085682023-08-08T15:25:00.001-04:002023-08-08T15:26:39.592-04:00REMINDER: FBSMC 15, Spontaneity Within A Plan, Zoom Session 7, 8/10 6pm EDT. <p>Hello everyone!</p>

Everyone has a template or way inside of themselves when they play, or do anything actually. Our 'default" setting might not always be the best for us, and this is where we can move beyond our mechanical-default-habit by experimenting with other mental settings. Using rhythm, pitch and timbre in different combinations to make some playing equations can be very revealing!</p>
<p>Arnold Jacobs, the great former tubist of the Chicago Symphony who was also known as one of the great brass pedagogues, had a coupling which was "wind and song." Many people use this simple equation because of its simplicity and how it ties brass playing with motion of air and playing music. It also keeps many players from going down a path of too much complication and over thinking. If this works for someone, that is the important bit. But after working with people for over 55 years, there are many other formulas that work too and can be more targeted depending on the player in their current state of playing.</p>
<p>There are many examples of equations that work using rhythm, pitch and timbre. Rhythm + pitch = result. Now, pick a leader and a companion such as rhythm being the leader or pilot and pitch being the companion or co-pilot and play a passage with that in your mind. Then reverse that where pitch is the leader and rhythm is companion and observe the difference. In doing this, one can feel, in most cases, a very tangible difference between the two equations. This can easily be done using a variety of combinations like:</p>
<p>Rhythm + timbre, timbre + rhythm, pitch + timbre and so on. Remember in this equation that it is Leader (pilot) + companion (c-opilot) = result. From this we can see that in Mr. Jacobs' equation that wind was the leader and song was companion but so intimately related that they became intertwined. Maybe some people felt it unconsciously as song + wind. Who knows!</p>
<p><b>EXERCISE</b></p>
<p>1. Pick a phrase or two from an etude, solo, excerpt or whatever.</p>
<p>2. Try using a formula like Pitch + Timbre and play the phrase.</p>
<p>3. Play it again in reverse.</p>
<p>4. Go on to try this using the various combinations of RPT.</p>
<p>5. To deepen this exercise, go to the previous blog post and do the exercise on building a relationship with RPT.</p>
<p><b>NOTE:</b><i> </b > Oftentimes we like to focus on one thing at a time. I understand and have done it myself. But I have found that the equation or coupling method (a leader and a companion) in many circumstances works better.</i></p>

In fact, that is exactly what you are! If that can resonate in your inner timbreal acoustic, it will change your world and what music represents.</p>
<p>Rhythm, pitch and timbre are expressions of the law of three. They are the three parts that make up a unified sound or frequency. Sound is audible frequency and obviously the human and animal, insect, and aquatic life can pick up frequency in a number of ways. Hearing, touching, tasting, smelling and seeing are the common ways of detecting frequencies. But the instinct picks up frequencies and so does our own energetic field known as the aura. When someone says, "you're in my space!" they feel your space entering their space. Space here means one's aura."</p>
</p>The human is an incredilbe design capable of extrodinary things! Once we start getting in touch with the essence of rhythm, pitch and timbre, it offers a window into seeing Nature's laws at play right in plain sight in our daily life and while playing our instrument. Once this happens your playing, pracitcing, performing and teaching can take a more profound level of understanding that music and life are not separate. The same laws and principles are taking place.</p>
<p>There are many practical ways to apply this knowledge to music making and instrumental development. But first, getting to know the teritory by building a relaitonship with rhythm, pitch and timbre, "RPT." This is not that difficult to do, you just have to practice it. <b>RPT is EVERYWHERE! </b></p>
<p>1. Focus on one of them at a time.</p>
<p>a) Pick the one that catches you the most.</p>
<p>b) Try it for a whole day.</p>
<p>c) then pick one of the other 2 the next day.</p>
<p>2. Listen to people talk.</p>
<p>3. Listen to the sounds in your neighborhood.</p>
<p>4. Feel the times of day- quiet times will help you build subtlety in your listening.</p>

Here the wise phrase and caution comes in which is <b>"you become what you think about."<i></i></b></p>
<p>In this state, we start to have awe, wonder, gratitude and deep appreciation for what wants to unfold in our life. Ideas, perceptions, expanding thoughts will become a regular feature of one's life. When one's life is more consciously connected to the natural worlds, it is powered by truth. Truth in this instance refers to that which is not human created. The laws of nature exist in various combinations throughout the entire Creation.</p>
<p><i>We are all living lives playing our various roles in the theatre of Creation.</i></p>
<p>The question that spontaneously appeared on the video when I was talking about making my videos and not wanting to edit them, spontaneously triggered in me the question of <i><b>"do we edit life?"</b></i> What comes to my mind is when being with other people we might edit what we say to fit the circumstance depending on the subject matter and/or the people we are talking to. You might be thinking of things you'd like to say but edit it by choosing your words in a particular way so you "edit" out other words that you could have used but thought twice about it! Sometimes in life things come out... The question arises: <i>do we feel safe to speak? Are we free to speak?</i> Of course there is always the issue of being sensitive to the situation. <u>Let's face it, sometimes it is not worth the attack back at us for speaking what we feel. <b>Other times it is vital we speak what we feel and stand for, even in the face of what could come back at us.</b></u></p>
<P><i><b>How much of our daily life do we edit?</b></i></P>

Short term, mid term and long term planning are all goal based. Whether it is planning a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, writing a grocery list, planning a week's finances and so forth, there is always a reason for the plan to accomplish some goal.</p>
<p>We all know that our plans don't always work out by not completing it by running out of time or being unexpectedly interrupted. There are a myriad of ways that our plans might change.</P>
<P>Let's say our plan is working out. Well,, even in that case, not everything that happens to us in the midst of that plan is known ahead of time. That is life! As an old Yiddish saying goes, <i>"Humans make plans and God laughs!"</i></P>
<P><b>The known and unknown exist at the same time.</b> In that reality there is always the chance for spontaneity and the need to course correct and adapt <I>(and sometimes very quickly)</I> to that which was not anticipated.<b> THIS IS PART OF LIFE.</b></p>
<p>I can't tell you how many performances this happened in! That can be a real shock and quick thinking can help, but, sometimes the circumstance is a bit complex. We do the best we can at the time. Then, if we are open and growing, <i>our experiences can transform into wisdom. </i></p>Norman Bolterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270610854959695332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942687343792372926.post-45234690007979972322023-06-27T20:08:00.006-04:002023-06-28T12:12:20.131-04:00FBSMC 15, "Spontaneity Within A Plan" Zoom Session 3, THURSDAY 6/29/23 6pm EDT<p>Hello everyone!</p>

Or should I say "appear" as if < i > out of nowhere spontaneously?</p></i>
<p>This depends on a person's openiness and fervor in the living connections that they have built. Now, what is interesting about this, is that a person who is very young can be very open because of their innocence and natural curiosity about being alive. They are not frozen in being educated a certain way especially if they were raised without too much fear. In this state, so much can happen because of the newness of everything and the fog of things being "too" familiar are not too blinding yet. With this idea, not feeling well can offer a temporary way out of taking things for granted because we are out of our usual functioning and the simplest of things can feel very difficult.</p>
<p>This is one example of a window appearing even in a very tough situation. Can we see the opening for greater perception in life in general? Is this something we want? Notice when we are interested in a subject that we start to notice many things related to that subject. Or, if you get a new car, it seems there might be a lot of them on the road because now you are on the "frequency" of that car. <i>This is the golden egg! Connection to something built from a genuine interest and love will pull on the thread (frequency) of what that subject is itself connected to. <u>This does not always happen if our training has conditioned our perception in a such a way that holds us tight to a certain concept of conditioning that forms a deep seeded belief in ourselves.</i></u></p>
<p>The simple secret out of this, if one has the desire to do so, is the development of an attitude that is interested in the love of truth more than any ideology. This is where real discovery begins and it is spontaneous!! Plus, your planning will naturally take this living spark of spontaneity into account naturally!</p>

<p>Hope this email finds you all in good health and spirits. This email will consist of some current goings on and some coming up. Perhaps there will be something for you that will catch your interest. This email also includes a Zoom lInvitation and donation instructions.</p>
<p>*<b>T</b>rain <b>A</b>thletic <b>C</b>raft, session 3, will be on zoom this coming <b>Saturday 5/20/23 at 11am EDT.</b> Yes, this is another acronym for TAC! Those who have participated in my TAC offerings starting in 2021 are well aware there are many acronyms for TAC. Originally TAC stands for <i>The Amazing Club.</i> It is not a closed club but is open to all who feel compelled <i>"To bravely go where few have gone before!" :-)</i> It's amazing because there are those that actually want to do it! A free will donation of your choice is suggested for <b>TAC</b>raft sessions.</p>
<p>-Session 3 is called <b>"What About Excerpts?"</b> Train Athletic Craft Video 3 (here is the link: https://youtu.be/Xdl96GfNYs8 ) is uploaded to YouTube and describes some of what we will be getting up to on Saturday. The companion notes are located on the Frequency Bone blog here http://frequencybone.blogspot.com/2023/05/companion-notes-to-train-athletic-craft.html. This is an important Zoom session for those who are feeling in a rut with excerpts and the excerpts are sounding tired or perhaps, shall we say, uninspired. The excerpts are parts of incredible music! They are not technical exercises. I'm hoping this session will reconnect the meaning of them through making them mean something personally to you that is still connected to the spirit of the music. My hope in this session is that we can take our <b>T</b>rombone<b> A</b>rban <b>C</b>onsciousness and integrate it with our developing <b>T</b>ransmitting <b>A</b>rt <b>C</b>onsciousness! Hmmm.. new TAC acronyms.. The <b>Zoom Invitation</b> is located at the end of this email.</p>

For those that are taking auditions at the professional level or entry into a music school as a student, they represent rejection or acceptance. This is a job-application attitude which then focuses the approach to these short sound bites, in my view, to the equivalent of looking at taxidermy- dead stuffed animals or butterflies under glass. In other words , something <b>NOT ALIVE! </b></p>
<p>The preoccupation of making everything sound "mistake free" and spotless shows that the regular "cattle call" auditions are far away from offering an environment that encourages the best out of the player. But that makes sense from the level of looking at the profession itself. Since the virtual reality age where many times we find ourselves reflected by mechanical devices such as very sophisticated tuners, metronomes, videos and all what we see on a computer, we can start to lose touch with the more personal meaning of ourselves being in service to the <i>SPIRIT<i> of the music. But instead, being preoccupied not to mess up.</p>
<p>There is <b>NO</b> substitute for building a real relationship with the music and your instrument's role in the piece. How can a great actor and actress play their role in a [play or movie without knowing the whole story? I'm saying something different than knowing every theoretical aspect of the piece. Without having a feeling, emotion, mental imagery or story, how is it going to sound like anything beyond excellent technique with a planned set of how phrasing should go? <i>Technique + Music = Art.</i></p>
<p>Ask yourself: "What am I saying in this excerpt?" "What am I communicating?" "What atmosphere is being created?' Then ask about the how, where, when and what that you will need to make it happen. Make the excerpts<i> ALIVE!</i></p>Norman Bolterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270610854959695332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942687343792372926.post-53064511065925140152023-05-03T12:41:00.000-04:002023-05-03T12:41:29.403-04:00Train Athletic Craft Session 2, 5/6/23 11am EDT Zoom invite included!<p>Hello Everyone!</p>
<p>We will have our second session<b> T</b>rain <b>A</b>thletic<b> C</b>raft on this coming <b>Saturday 5/6/23 at 11am EDT</b>. Yes, this is another acronym for TAC! Those who have participated in my TAC offerings starting in 2021 are well aware there are many acronyms for TAC. Originally TAC stands for <i>The Amazing Club</i>. It is not a closed club but is open to all who feel compelled "To bravely go where few have gone before!" :-)</p>
<p>*In session 2, we will look at the "Hand Sculptor(ing) technique that I've shown and described a bit in Video 2 (https://youtu.be/jk2uReF1o6s) and on my Instagram @nbolt2. This is meant to show that the field of techniques is infinite and it only needs us <b>T</b>o <b>A</b>ctivate<b> C</b>reativity and hopefully some of my process will <b>T</b>rigger <b>A</b>uthentic <b>C</b>onnections that are already in you, (even if latently), <b>T</b>o <b>A</b>ctivate<b> C</b>ontinually!</p>.
<p><b>T</b>rain <b>A</b>thletic <b>C</b>raft is another way of looking at the first overlay called Robotic Automatic Systems of the Overlay System. This system consists of three main overlays. Lots written and spoken on these overlays already. The Overlay System will naturally appear in these TAC sessions, including, of course, the other two overlays of Skill and Choice (second overlay) & Integration and Art (third overlay). They will all start to resonate and play a vitally active part in these sessions.</p>
<p>In these sessions, we will also be warming-up together and looking at the fundamentals in a variety of ways which you are invited to apply in your own privte practice time. Which leads us into how this acronym of TAC came about! It was seeing that in all performing arts, there is the practical aspect of <b>t</b>raining the <b>a</b>thletic (mind-body-coordination) part of ourselves to develop skills and those skills to build a <b>c</b>raft for a specific purpose, i.e. brass playing, playing any musical instrument, dance of any kind, acting, theater, figure skating etc.</p>

Not all of these are intentional but form out of repetitive thoughts and actions in our everyday lives. Our intentional focus on deep points of personal interest create equally strong connections and relationships. Some examples are, chosen career paths, marriage, sincere beliefs that turn into principles and form the foundations of our ethics, the list can go on and on.</p>
<b>T</b>rue <b>A</b>ctual <b>C</b>hoice is a very powerful TAC acronym. Do we have actual genuine choices? Where does it come from? Where do our choices lead us? For instance, as you can see from the video I've come up with a "hand sculpture" technique that helps inform my embouchure shape. When you have built a living relationship with something, techniques, revelations, endless ideas, ways and means will come to you. This can lead to having many options- an abundance of choices will be right in front of you! The <b>T</b>rue <b>A</b>ctual <b>C</b>hoice part will express itself because you built a lving relationship with something. It is not stagnant and stuck in one way only except the way of where the natural laws lead you.</p>
<p>This way of going on for me has led organically into personal science where a person uses their experiences as empirical evidence. Because I have been teaching and working with people for over 5 decades, I have collected a huge amount of empirical evidence from trying things with other people of all ages. I love confirmation and the surprises of when things don't work and when they don't seem like they should work! This brings about an attachment to <i>living truth</i> rather than being bound and adhereing to concepts only coming from a personal viewpoint.</p>
<p>Love the journey and process of being IN the living Art, for it goes beyond product preoccupation into the ever expanding nature of life and the <i> Everlasting</i> origin that it arises from.</p>.

<p>I premiered a piece yesterday at a BOCO studio trombone recital. I had planned to make a YouTube video in my own setting soon afterwards. The soon after was tonight, 2/19/23.</p>
<p>Dr. V and I have learned many years ago that not every piece can be played in all environments. I'm glad I played it yesterday at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee and then to follow up in my own private setting tonight. As you watch the video, you will see that I talk about the piece and give some views of my own personal experience of the times we now find ourselves in plus my own need to express in a multitude of timbres.</p>
<p>With such an emphasis on consistency and evenness of tone throughout the registers for orchestral auditions, there really is not an emphasis for color change beyond dynamic contrasts, mutes changes and equipment changes. That can be a lot of change. But it is not as dramatic a change as string players are asked to do.</p>
<p>Timbre cannot exist without rhythm and or pitch. Timbre is the chamber (made of material and shape) of resonance for rhythm and pitch to appear. (But what creates timbre besides rhythm and pitch?!). In fact, the deeper we look into these three, (three being a cosmic law and spiritual number i.e. trinity), the One appears as three. Rhythm, pitch and timbre cannot exist independently. You can see each one, but they cannot exist without each other.</p>
<p>THINK ABOUT IT. IT WILL OPEN UP THE UNIVERSE. But, that is not the main reason for looking into it...<p/>Norman Bolterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270610854959695332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942687343792372926.post-27535483252010585602023-01-19T18:26:00.002-05:002023-01-19T18:26:22.483-05:00Next "Anew Each Day!" (5) 1/21/23, Zoom Invitation Included!<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>The next <b>"Anew Each Day!" will be this Sunday 1/21/23 at 12pm Eastern.</b> The Zoom Invitation is included and the option to give a free-will donation is located below. This is not a prerequisite for participating. If you do choose to make a donation, <b>PLEASE <i></i></b>follow the directions carefully. It is very important for tax purposes. This is not merchandise you are buying when you donate, so please follow the directions. Thanks very much in advance!</p>
<p><b>ABOUT THE NEW SERIES</b></p>
"Anew Each Day!" This title is an attitude that is very dear to me for it offers strength, hope and has the sentiment of having a fresh start to begin again every day. Everyday is different and to expect it to be exactly the same as the day before is not possible since this whole cosmos is always in motion! The new FBMC-Winter Edition video gets into this! Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/bb1u5ES9tnI
<p><b>Zoom Invitation</b>
Included below for 1/21/23, 12pm Eastern (EST)
<p><b>Purpose</b></p>
These sessions will be for us to meet, embrace the new day and see where it leads us. We will be warming up and experimenting together (using things like color, connecting to nature and more)and talking about differences and similarities of what our playing feels like at that moment and how it develops in our time together.
<p><b>Timing of Sessions</b></p>
The sessions will be about an hour in length- and will occur at random times throughout a week or weekend and in morning, afternoon or evening.
<p>Hope to see some of you at the sessions and please feel free to send this email to others whom you think may be interested.</p>
<p>FYI! <i>The sessions have been going great! Lots of new things to experiment with with new insights about the power of what we let our minds connect to from colors to geometric shapes and more. <b>This Sunday, 1/21/23 most likely will have 3 D shapes on the schedule and of course more!</b>
</i></p>
<p>The donation option directions will be under the Zoom Invitation. They are the same as other offerings have been in the past.</p>
<p><i>Onward as we dive into fresh territory each time!</i></p>

This is not a prerequisite for participating. If you do choose to make a donation, <b>PLEASE <i></i></b>follow the directions carefully. It is very important for tax purposes.

<p><b>ABOUT THE NEW SERIES</b></p>
"Anew Each Day!" This title is an attitude that is very dear to me for it offers strength, hope and has the sentiment of having a fresh start to begin again every day. Everyday is different and to expect it to be exactly the same as the day before is not possible since this whole cosmos is always in motion! The new FBMC-Winter Edition video gets into this! Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/bb1u5ES9tnI
<p><b>Zoom Invitation</b>
Included below for 1/16/23, 12pm Eastern (EST)
<p><b>Purpose</b></p>
These sessions will be for us to meet, embrace the new day and see where it leads us. We will be warming up and experimenting together (using things like color, connecting to nature and more)and talking about differences and similarities of what our playing feels like at that moment and how it develops in our time together.
<p><b>Timing of Sessions</b></p>
The sessions will be about an hour in length- and will occur at random times throughout a week or weekend and in morning, afternoon or evening.
<p>Hope to see some of you at the sessions and please feel free to send this email to others whom you think may be interested.</p>
<p>FYI! <i>The sessions have been going great! Lots of new things to experiment with with new insights about the power of what we let our minds connect to from colors to geometric shapes and more. <b>This Monday will take us more into discovery with some ideas and ways to apply and develop what to do with our new insights.</b>
</i></p>
<p>The donation option directions will be under the Zoom Invitation. They are the same as other offerings have been in the past.</p>
<p><i>Onward as we dive into fresh territory each time!</i></p>
<p>Norman Bolter is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.</p>
