Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 My son plays piano very well But tonight, his playing has been well below the standard of recent nights and absolutely littered with minor mistakes and also memory lapses Very frustrating for him It sounds like he is just not concentrating – but he seems to be trying hard Any ideas why this might be and whether there are drills to help?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Orna and thanks for the response Yes I have Donna's book and it makes a lot of sense to me Homolateral is interesting... The cross crawl is good for this, but so is walking and running. He had been running in his athlerics class at school (last class) so I'm surprised that this would be a problem He did much better last night - after he'd run much further " energies running backwards " , sounds very reasonable to me. It's interesting that for a big performance, he seems to be able to get into a zone and do really well without any of Donna's techniques - he must be able to do somehting naturally Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 And then, often when he performs, he gets " into the zone " and he connects directly and deeply with the music - like he did last Saturday - it really is breathtaking I have no idea how he gets there - we very rarely see it during practice. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi Vince, How does he feel about practicing compared to performing? Is it boring sometimes? Does he do any energy drills before practice? 3 thumps, wayne cook, Cross crawl, NV hold...?
