A very long time in the past once I was nonetheless taking part in live shows on my guitar, I got here to the belief that I HAD TO TRUST REPETITION OF THE MUSIC I WAS MEMORIZING FOR A CONCERT.
What do I imply?
Once I was taking part in live shows I believed as a solo classical guitarist, that I needed to play a complete hour and a half live performance by reminiscence, which is what I did. It was anticipated on the time, however the sheer terror of memorizing the music was making me loopy.
I’d play the piece just a few instances, then I’d take a look at whether or not I had memorized it but. If I hadn’t, I’d frantically play the piece again and again just a few instances, after which take a look at if I had memorized it. This was making me loopy!
THIS WAS AN INTOLERABLE SITUATION! My worry was insupportable.
What did I do?
I needed to discover a strategy to apply for five to six hours a day to get the live performance memorized and efficiency prepared with out going mad from the worry that I wouldn’t get the music memorized.
So, what I did was play sections of the items again and again for 50 instances and NOT TEST MY MEMORY TO SEE IF I HAD MEMORIZED THE SECTION OF THE PIECE, UNTIL I HAD PLAYED IT 50 TIMES.
This was an act of religion.
What do I imply?
I trusted that if I allowed myself to play a piece of the piece again and again f 50 instances, that on the finish of of the 50 instances, having not checked to see if I had memorized the part, that it could be memorized, or not less than near it.
Did it work?
YES!
Or not less than darn shut, so I used to be in a position to full my memorizing with out worry, figuring out I used to be going to get it accomplished after I had accomplished this excessive repetition just a few instances, and it had labored.
Why did this work, apart from the plain reply that I had performed it again and again 50 instances, at instances greater than as soon as?
IT WORKED BECAUSE I HAD ALLOWED MYSELF THE LUXURY OF PLAYING FOR HOURS AT PEACE, WITHOUT FEAR OF FAILURE. I DID THE REPETITION WITH FAITH THAT I WOULD GET THE MEMORIZING DONE, WITHOUT PRESSURE AND FEAR.
THE MUSIC WOULD MEMORIZE ITSELF!
On the time I had not accomplished the Alexander Approach, however what I did was very Alexandrian.
What do I imply?
By my training for hours WITHOUT worry and NOT repeatedly testing myself, placing myself underneath the gun, the bodily rigidity stage in my physique was dramatically decrease. I wasn’t hurting myself bodily and mentally to get the music memorized.
This may be utilized to any instrument or any sport. REPETITION WITHOUT TESTING permits you to be taught what that you must be taught to carry out or compete with out worry you gained’t get the job accomplished.
While you add the ideas of nice physique use and nice approach in response to the Alexander Approach, then you definately actually are specializing in the means to the aim WITH FAITH.
