Ruphus -> RE: Playing better at night than during the day? (Dec. 30 2010 9:33:33)

Interesting topic, and impressions that ressemble mine too. As I find myself prefering the night ever since / asked myself how come, I concluded that it might have to do with the silence. Away from days hustle and bustle, the mind seems much more in contemplative mood, which again supports creativity as well well as perception / feedback while praticing. In addition to that, with the traffic outside ceasing and better acoustics ( yet even here on country side ) it feels to me as if one could be perceiving sound details much better / have far better idea of how you are touching the strings. Things seem like under an acoustic and sensible magnifying glass. quote:
naturally after a night's sleep your body is more rigid and tends to loosen up the longer you're awaken.. Which is why it is practically of little sense to make contractive muscular exercises ( other than slight yoga ) early in the morning, straining the body against natural condition of blood circulation and joints and at lessend muscular efficiency. Considering common day schedule, 5:00 pm is the optimal time for physical exercises during the day. quote:
So sometimes practicing mechanical skills, runs etc while watching the TV or whatever could be a conscious decision. Only recomendable where technique has been perfected and is being of established routine in the same time already. Otherwise unaware practicing like before TV will be contra productive as it enhances and fixes unconscious and unergonomic execution. One can be setting himself back considerably that way without even realizing. In the end: The more controlled / informed and aware you exercise the more efficient it will be. Which, as I think, is why the silence of the night seems so suitable. Only after technique has been internalized with perfect ergonomy is there constructive outcome and even progress with playing uncounsciously ( focussing then on the musical aspect alone ). When still learning, the more consciously the better. Ruphus
