congratulations I’m wanting to take the shortcut to easier brass playing good day I’m Greg Spence what the hell is Inus I hear you saying intis is that moment where you’ve been working on techniques and improving your playing someone puts a chart in front of you and all of a sudden all the errors that you’ve been working on trying to fix up eliminating from your playing all come rushing back because there is a demand the ink is on the page in front of you and everything tightens
up in order to get the result I’m sure you’ve experienced it before if not you’re very lucky ink itis is a virus that most brass players suffer from so ultimately what’s happening is the brain is relying on all the inefficient manipulations it can Garner to get the result that you want ultimately your dream Avatar the stage that you want to be on playing the music at the standard that you want to play at we don’t want to rely on Panic fear and manipulation so we need
to embed beautiful processes efficiency processes to the point where they’re so deeply ingrained it doesn’t matter what ink you’ve got put in front of you you will be able to not be affected by the ink and you’ll be able to use the processes that you’ve developed to get the job done uh in the community band the orchestra the big band the solo whatever it is that you’re working on okay so beware the Inc art just beware the ink we learn the feeling of playing we understand
the processes of efficient playing we repeat them make them repeatable till Brian the brain is so confident he can do it no matter what’s thrown in front of you beware intis hey guys if you’re wanting my help to develop an efficient 3 to four octave range with consistency confidence a killer sound and a virtuoso technique I’ve put everything I’ve learned over the last 30 5 years into one easy to follow program that you can benefit from right now at absolutely no cost for the next 7
days from your very first lesson you begin to understand why you’re having playing problems and why you’re hitting ceilings our step-by-step comprehensive technical development program is for all brass players of all levels and all styles and I run live weekly master classes and live lessons via Zoom to make sure you’re on the right track if your mind isn’t totally blown by day seven you can opt out without being charged to sent [Music]
Greg Spence calls it Inkitis: the moment a chart appears and the efficient habits you have been practising disappear. This short lesson explores keeping the playing process steady under the demands of written music.
What does Inkitis mean?
Inkitis is Greg’s name for reverting to inefficient habits when written music creates pressure to get the result. He encourages embedding efficient processes so they remain available in rehearsals, ensembles and performances.
