Taylee. Summary: Going off of last chapter, we seem to get caught up in what our abilities are instead of why they are, and how we individually approach them. It is much easier to perform any task if we understand the basics before trying to attempt the whole thing in one shot. Maybe because we are staring our problem head on we are missing the root of the issue, when all we need to do is change our perspective; take each component individually and analyze it separately. If we don't sure up the foundation how can we expect to have a sturdy product when all is said and done? Mastering a skill isn't about brain over brawn, or the mind submitting itself to the body, it's about finding a balance.
Key Concepts: There must be a cohesive interaction between the two brain hemispheres. Until we can understand the fundamentals, we can never fully conquer any skill.
Key Terms: ...
Making Connections: It's been pretty interesting going from The Talent Code, to this weird world of A Soprano on Her Head. But I think it demonstrates that balance that I mentioned in the Key Concepts part. Technical singing can hardly be beautiful if there is no emotional grounding. But a very emotional song doesn't have near the power if performed by someone who isn't trained well either. In my lesson this week, I was so focused on the technique I gained from my practice, that I forgot to loosen up and enjoy my song. The minute that I started to implement more thought and feeling into my singing, it improved a ton!
