Jaron Putnam SOHH Chapter 9
Summary:
Visualization is an
incredibly powerful tool that can be used to improve how we perform music, and
function in life. Often times we find ourselves at musical crossroads. We
aren't sure how to proceed, and we worry about being able to compose or perform
to the best of our ability. One answer to these questions might be found in
visualizing what you want. Imagine yourself performing that passage. Don't just
visualize it, but feel it. Feel the muscles engage, think about what it would
sound like, look like. Get a good feel for what you want, and then let it
happen. I like this last part of the chapter: "Not Crazy at all. The
craziness is in the fact that we are astonished each time we discover that our
minds and bodies work together in wonderous ways if we but give them the
chance." Our bodies and minds know how to do it. We just have to get them
to work together and let them take care of the hard parts.
Key Concept: To be
successful in a difficult circumstance, one must visualize what they want, and
then work towards that.
Key Terms:
Visualization
Making Connections:
I really cannot wait to try this tomorrow! There is a specific passage I would
like to try with this method… I hope I can make something work out.
