#9.Art and intimacy - the inner experience of creativity

Music can become an intimate experience for the player when she knows how to listen with different ears. We can be so far from the image that Piano skill is life skill. What we put in acquiring a musical skill is what we achieve in life. When we listen to ourselves without judgement we can hear the beauty that is created inside out. When we detach ourselves from ourselves we can hear ourselves the way others hear us. How is it when express ourselves through art, music or other, we could go beyond the judge in us. Bathing in the beauty of a piece of music creates the intimacy between the performer and composer. We can "watch" the music and appreciate the process that each student goes through. What is this moment in playing a piece that we can consider as a new creation. The moment of putting the fingers on the keys is the moment of creation. For artist this is expression of life . We can help children experience it by knowing when to step back, and teach them to define the difference between Practice and Playing. Parents who learn to observe their children allow them to invoke their own creativity. I invite you to reflect on music, art and competition. Let's explore it together in the next episode.
