Chapter Summary: Words cannot always express what we need to express. This is part of the reason why music can be so influential. But if we only focus on words to teach and learn, we lose the very message we are trying to convey through our music. To be more connected, we can visualize what we want to happen, express it through body movement and then try again. The depth in our music will become more apparent to us and our audience. Sometimes we need to understand what is trying to be said by first feeling it before we try to explain it in words.
Key Concepts: If we only used words to express ourselves, music would no longer exist.
Key Terms: visualizing
Making Connections: I want to practice visualizing and feeling the music more in practicing my singing. I think both of these things will help me find a balance between my mind and my body and be able to express the song much more easily.
