This session is about how I work these days, how I think about practicing and performing music. I am continuously working on “finding” myself, perceiving and engaging my whole self in every moment of practice and performance. It is often the case that only a tiny portion of our physical body makes a direct connection with our instrument. Yet, there can be tremendous power in both the place and the moment where we make that contact. We must strive for a quality of contact that brings us into the clearest relationship with our instrument and at the same time emerges from and continues to enhance our whole-body awareness.
