No, i think theres many drives combined that are different for everyone Well said, Flo. Let me add to the list: Some do it because the melodies/rhythms have a nostalgic effect, and remind us of music we heard earlier in life. quote:
More examples were shown of creative visualisation being used to prepare in your mind what you wished to acheive physically I have read about this technique. One of the examples given to describe it explained how a photographer would mentally 'work out' the sequence of a photo session. Mentally visualizes each setting, angle, lighting etc. All done mentally, no notes, eyes closed, etc. When the time came for the shoot, each setting received only one or two takes as opposed to the numerous rolls of film normally taken during a session. So, what I've taken most from this thread: 1. "when you play, listen as though you were transcribing yourself" 2. "use more creative visualization in preparation for a piece" ...I wonder if the latter would have helped avoid a recent injury i had?[:(] quote:
Miguel I think the study of people who are really good at something is fascinating. Certainly there are such things as natural advantages or even perhaps natural skills or instincts, but I'm that doesn't interest me that much because it can't be changed. What can be changed is your mental state and your approach. Anyone here seriously tried meditation? I couldn't agree more. I have never meditated, that I'm aware of anyway. [:)] Is it something you do often, Miguel?
