For Music to come into our lives, audients are as necessary as musicians. The point where music, musicians and audients come together is in performance. The act of music is the Music.
The focus of this course is performance in public.
We learn our instrument, we move inside the instrument, the instrument becomes an extension of ourselves.
We learn the notes, we move inside the notes, the notes move inside us.
We learn the music, we move inside the music, but not until we perform the music for an audience is the Music likely to move inside us.
So, what to do? Strap on and rock out!
