This Sale Is Just Sooo Grand

Yes, I’m happy to report that the Saleabration is continuing; and thrilled to see so many taking excellent advantage of it - the post office in Sedona will be able to keep its doors open for at least one more week.

This morning I was reflecting on some the highlights from the past weekend’s master class. There were quite a lot, so it’s taken me the better part of the morning.

There was one, however, that really sticks out in my mind.

We were talking about that peculiar phenomenon where you can do something only if you Don’t think about it. Like vibrato for some.

The thing is, though, you DO want the pleasure of thinking about it, indeed upon everything you do on the violin. Doing an activity only whilst you think of something else is a pretty empty experience, I’d say.

The question is, how do you coax your attention on to something without freezing up solid.

Very interesting, really. One thing’s for sure, it isn’t going to happen unless one knows how to relax.

This is one reason I suggest that folks have water, a cup of tea, even a glass of wine handy while practicing – anything that spells relaxation in your mind when you put your attention to it.

As a matter of fact, I say it’d be a good idea to retrieve a glass of your favorite beverage to enjoy Right Now as you click over to the special Sale page I’ve got up on my website.

You won’t be able to grab so much for so little for a good while.

All the best,
