Slogan: Trust That The Truth Will Reveal Itself
Hye Folks,
The latest slogan may seem out of place to you, but for me it says that maybe the short ones I work with to give myself a message of get to work, well it could be more that I need to sit back and let things come to me a little more. Forcing and pushing doesn't seem to be effective in most cases.
What does this have to do with music? you might well ask. My answer is that it has as much to do with music as with anything else in my life. Will this change my life in any way? Make me calmer? gentle? more ssensitive? How about more in tune with myself, my inner child who needs to be cared for and listened to. When she wants to play - play, when she wants to do work - work, when she wants to sleep - sleep.
Having said that, there are times when what one person sees as work another sees as play and can just keep doing it all day long. To find out what those things are and in which ways. If this works then there will be less feeling overwhelmed and more able to function in more areas of life better.
What does all this have to do with this blog about music and progressing thru the little pieces that I am spending time on? Its about changing my attitude and letting music come to me in a way that will allow it to live on the strings and not be bruised or injured in the process. I made the list on Monday so I wouldn't have to do anything on Tuesday, in case there wasn't time. I'm happy to report that The Christ Child's Lullabye that I play in two hands is coming along and feels very comfortable. I have a new piece that has a bit of left hand chording and I think that I'm catching on with that one fairly quickly also. I have to have it practiced for the lesson on June 15th.
From the looks of this writing, I am turning a corner and going in a different direction with how I approach the projects in my life. I'm sort of surprised at it, myself, as I had thot that what I was doing, in the ways I was doing them was already, if not 'the best' it was comfortable and effective for my needs.
Take care, Meg
About Me
- Music Quest
- I went back to school in my later years, took English, history, psychology, creative writing. Began taking harp lessons at the same time as an outlet for my energy. I have gotten work in the public sector in an office that takes up most of my time and energy to the point that I no longer take the time to work on any of my passiions. So, I am starting this blog to make a new start at putting the harp back into my life as I miss it. As I like writing I'd like to see what notes I can take to keep my on track for a year, like Julie & Julia, she did her recipes and recorded her progress. Same for me; I want to keep a record hoping I will make progress.
