The Perfect Wrong Note
Alexander Technique, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais, Yoga - there are endless practices which musicians turn to, often without knowing why. Some may think it is for flexibility or increasing skills in movement, but for me what we are searching for are ways to connect better to the present moment - the key to a successfully moving and effortless performance. The past few years, this idea has taken ahold of my viola practice, and as is often the case with musical "breakthroughs", looking back, I cannot imagine approaching performance in any other way.
