Will You Do These Things Every Day? | Mind, Body, Piano - Mastery Ideas

Playing the piano is not just about knowing lots of theory and songs and having a good sense of rhythm; if you don't have a disciplined mind, well-maintained flexible fingers and precision at the piano, then all the rest is rendered meaningless. In this video, I propose a few ideas for your Mind, Body and Piano-component mastery. Most of these take place away from the piano and will benefit you in many ways: fluency, less conscious interference, patience, orientation, freedom, natural growth, etc. The key, as with all things, is 'consistency'. --- For the mind, I propose counting to ten on Your terms, watching how your mind wants to rush ahead. Do not let it. For once, be in control and experience 'inward observation'. Also, using the internal piano, learn to zoom in and out of scales, chords and shapes, on Your terms. These are very powerful and beneficial mind techniques.
