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 executed one thing a sure method for a very long time, change is tough.
The best way we’ve run or play the piano is seen as darn close to immutable.
THIS IS A BELIEF, NOT REALITY!
What do I imply?
In the event you consider the best way you’ve run or performed the piano for a very long time goes to take a really very long time to alter, it would.
However what if I, as an Alexander Method trainer, present you a a superior posture, a superior method, then can the the change to the brand new posture and method be comparatively straightforward?
YES! However two issues must occur.
It’s a must to settle for that what I’m displaying you is superior to the best way you’ve run or performed the piano, and you must let go of the assumption that change is tough, virtually not possible.
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 straightforward enjoying might be, then let your self be hooked, which suggests see the potential for enjoying with ease and no extra bodily injury completely.
The second a part of with the ability to make change comparatively straightforward is letting go of the assumption that outdated method and posture are rooted deeply.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 stated about displaying you the best way to play the piano with higher 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 dangerous method and dangerous posture have shallow roots.
Collectively, the momentary expertise of nice ease at operating or enjoying the enjoying effortlessly in an Alexander Method session, joined with the brand new perception that outdated poor method and posture don’t have to take a very long time to switch, could make years of banging your head towards the poor posture and poor method wall fast to launch.
Speaking psychologically right here, if you happen to’ve executed 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 just 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.
