music
The way ahead – the age where digital replaces analogue, where thinking replaces rote, where ticks and crosses are replaced by understanding rather than knowing. Where, finally, the brain is positioned at the front of the train and not at the rear looking backwards. The incredibly exciting notion of accessing the brain’s potential to send messages through the body at one hundred meters per second. The facilitative powers of familiarity, tutor to the brain. Familiarity is the pathway to the breathtaking speed of brain driven messages to the fingers.
Bringing together philosophy and music practice, a philosophy of music teaching. A new approach to the ancient art of music practice and performance, formulated as a modern-day pedagogy for woodwinds.
