Jared Daley SOHH Chapter 7
Summary-
When I first read this chapter I immediate thought of Cindy telling us to enjoy the journey. We always focus on the step by step process and the frustrations in singing that we forget to enjoy the journey. This Chapter really emphasized that we need to enjoy and relish in the beauty of all aspects of our musical journey, not just stare down at our feet as we traverse the rocky path. It's amazing how when we focus on something we do wrong we continue to do it wrong. When we focus on the beauty of a piece or the expression we want to get across, the tension and stiffness are no longer as prominent. This chapter focused a lot on piano and visualize chords. the visualization concept can be applied to almost anything in music.
Key Concept- We must look at the bigger picture and see all thats ahead of us, not just the note per note (steps on a path) before us. When we focus and view the bigger picture it all makes sense and becomes easier,
Connection- The pieces I struggle the most on are the ones where I'm focusing on each note and making sure they come out right. The ones I do the best on are when I have a greater view of the piece and have a developed character and can see where he's going.
