Lesson 18

Do smile

Another important recommendation – when reading music – rejoice and smile, and the notes will “smile” back at you. A smile will have a “miraculous” and positive effect on the whole process:

Firstly: physical and psychological stress disappears.

Secondly: a visual image of joy and lightness, instead of a suitable situational expression: “Oh, horror!”

Thirdly: a musician at the stage looks professional.

It is wrong when a musician frowns his brows during a performance, wrinkles his forehead and with all his behavior tries to show how hard work he got. Get rid of it ASAP.

For your performance to be great, you need to combine the art of using your instrument with knowledge of sight reading and skillfully use it all in an artistic manner. A good chef is different in that he does not just get mix all the ingredients following the recipe, he puts his skills and love into the cooking process, trying to please those who taste his dish.
