Effortless Mastery - Liberating The Master Musician Within by Kenny Werner

By Kenny Werner

From Preface:
Preface
(The realm of the talented has consistently looked to be an particular membership. The
common trust is that, ”Some people have it, a few of us don’t.” Implicit in
that assertion is the idea that ”most people don’t.” the best way music
(and, i believe different topics in addition) is normally taught works for those
who ”have it.” simply very proficient or complex scholars take up the language
of track within the means it is often taught. probably percentage of all music
students ever reach something. Many others fight with the various
elements of enjoying or improvising and accordingly don't become
performers.
Most humans fall via the wayside. We don’t appear to have given much
thought to this discrepancy, easily accepting the previous adage, ”some of us
have it and a few people don’t.” In cultures much less intruded upon by
”civilization,” everyone seems to be a musician. It has a lot to do with how tune is
introduced into our lives. This publication will examine that topic and provide hope
as good as practices to those that imagine they ”don’t have it.” those practices
will additionally bring up the effectiveness of these who think they do.
My trust is that, should you can speak, you could play. there are various purposes why
the so-called much less talented don’t get it. There also are equipment of obtaining
”it,” which this booklet will discuss.
Many humans have what I name musiphobia: worry of enjoying song. To a
person troubled with musiphobia, touching an device is like touching a
hot range. this can be irrational, because one can't get burned touching an
instrument-yet it's a universal challenge. even though there are completely no
negative results, so much folks are afraid. it's not our fault. We have
been programmed to worry enjoying. All too usually, our dating to track is
doomed to failure.

Again, let’s apply the issue to conversation. If you master the English language, does that make you a poet? Being able to speak in complete sentences is not an art, but a technical skill. Being a poet, a playwright or lyricist that is art. Looking at it this way resolves a long-standing controversy about technique versus creativity. ” Some people are afraid to learn too 6Ibid ’Amira, John & Cornelius, Steven.

61 Effortless Mastery Looking at the list again, you think, ”I’m a little too tired to practice right now. ” You watch TWO HOURS of television and say, ”Oh, I’m too spaced out to do anything now. ” After dinner you yawn and say, ”That was a good dinner. ” Or you go out partying so that you can forget the failures of the day. You procrastinated the whole day away. Perhaps some drug is part of the diversion. You might think that after a nice joint you’ll really be able to get into it. Four or five minutes feel great, but soon you’re too spaced out (or hungry again) to concentrate on a process, and it’s time to tune out.

This should burn more. ” or some thought like that. Whatever comes easily isn’t good enough because, in your mind, you’re not good enough! You start thumping your feet, trying to coerce music out of yourself, or sing along for emphasis. You are straining or ”digging in,” and at that moment, the solo loses all subtlety and groove. It sounds nervous, and the tone is lost. Perhaps you start rushing or over-playing and just then you might get lost in the form or in the time. Then, fear of looking foolish causes you to sit there stiffly and pretend you’re not lost!
