WHEN YOU’VE RUN OR PLAYED AN INSTRUMENT A CERTAIN WAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE YOUR TECHNIQUE, IT CAN FEEL LIKE YOU’VE RUN INTO A STONE WALL AND CAN’T CHANGE.
OR, IT FEELS TOO HARD TO CHANGE.
Why is that this?
Nearly everybody round us teaches us that if we’ve carried out one thing a sure means for a very long time, change is tough.
The way in which we’ve run or play the piano is seen as darn close to immutable.
THIS IS A BELIEF, NOT REALITY!
What do I imply?
Should you consider the way in which you’ve run or performed the piano for a very long time goes to take a really very long time to alter, it is going to.
However what if I, as an Alexander Approach trainer, present you a a superior posture, a superior method, then can the the change to the brand new posture and method be comparatively simple?
YES! However two issues should occur.
It’s a must to settle for that what I’m displaying you is superior to the way in which you’ve run or performed the piano, and it’s a must to let go of the idea that change is tough, nearly unattainable.
Let me clarify.
If I’ve you make a postural change or method change on the piano, and even when just for a second you expertise how simple enjoying might be, then let your self be hooked, which implies see the potential for taking part in with ease and no extra bodily injury completely.
The second a part of having the ability to make change comparatively simple is letting go of the idea that previous method and posture are rooted deeply.
They ain’t!
IF YOU HAVE USED POOR TECHNIQUE AND POSTURE FOR YEARS AND YEARS, THEN SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE YOU, YOU KNOW THAT IF YOUR RUNNING OR PIANO PLAYING DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOW YOU’RE DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING, NOT THAT YOU LACK THE ABILITY TO DO BETTER.
Let me return to what I mentioned about displaying you methods to play the piano with larger ease and luxury. If in that revelatory second you see the potential for nice method, then let that aha second be everlasting.
In different phrases, let the revelation be everlasting, and don’t doubt that it is going to be.
This requires the acceptance of the second a part of the equation, that unhealthy method and unhealthy posture have shallow roots.
Collectively, the momentary expertise of nice ease at operating or enjoying the enjoying effortlessly in an Alexander Approach session, joined with the brand new perception that previous poor method and posture would not have to take a very long time to interchange, could make years of banging your head in opposition to the poor posture and poor method wall fast to launch.
Speaking psychologically right here, in the event you’ve carried out one thing for a really very long time with method and posture on auto pilot, you are typically so invested in the way you’ve run or performed the piano, irrespective of how poorly and bodily destructively, you inform your self that change is simply too had, not definitely worth the effort, and also you’re condemning your self to ache due to a lie believed.
LET THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE TEACHER SHOW YOU WHAT A JOY IT IS TO DO WHAT YOU DO WITH GREATER AND GREATER EASE, BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT.
