HOW TO BENEFIT FROM EASIER PLAYING
To get started, let’s go to the absolute start, and look at how we begin and how belief systems are formed.
THE TRADITIONAL LEARNING APPROACH
1. Look at the melody/exercise/ink
2. Hear the sound of the ink in your head
3. Recall the feeling of the notes and play
This flowchart is great for sight reading and reading music in general, BUT NOT FOR LEARNING!
THE CORRECT WAY TO LEARN
1. Learn the correct FEELING of playing first – TIME TO DISCOVER “NO-NOTES”
2. Add sound without compromising the feeling
3. Add exercises/melodies/ink without compromising the sound or the feeling
WHAT WINDWORKS WILL TEACH YOU:
The WindWorks course is the pinnacle of my teaching and sits atop my first two books. It assumes you have a keen desire to shine. Once you begin, it creates the next problem – How far do you want to take your playing? This course is the answer to that question. All the way!
1. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
A brass player who has trouble playing isn’t a happy musician. In WindWorks, there is no brass-playing problem that doesn’t have a solution. You discover how to get past your limitations by diagnosing your issues and revealing simple solutions.
2. THE FASTEST WAY TO WIN
Explore the core methods of sound production: targeting efficiency errors and eliminating them with easy, fast, and logical drills to retrain the body what to do correctly. Use this error detection approach and you’ll never have problems again.
3. FREEDOM, CONFIDENCE AND CONSISTENCY
Learn the art of playing RAM-free. Nail the music you love without any left-brain analytical interference. Converting to the incredible feeling of near-effortless playing promotes creativity, making your music exponentially more enjoyable.
- The Core Issue: The Largo Module spells out the problems most players face – you’re not playing the way that you would like because of undiagnosed errors.
- Feel The Efficiency: We dive into the fundamentals and explain what it should feel like to play. Most brass musicians say that playing is hard work: it’s tough when you don’t know any better. We set the record straight by teaching you the correct feeling of playing, right from the start.
- What should I practise?: In this chapter, we explore what you should actually be working on and how to detect errors. Detecting your inefficiencies is the first step to correcting them.
- Quality Over Quantity: Next, we delve into the crucial filtering of useful drills and exercises from time-wasting, repetitive ones. This module teaches you how to focus your efforts on what will truly benefit your playing and development.
- No Harder Than Humming: By the Andante Module, you will be comfortable that brass playing should actually be no harder than humming, talking, or singing. Your new SIGH-chology (the feeling of playing) will gradually become the new normal and you will feel unstoppable.
- A New Belief System: Here, you will begin to accept that most of what you have ever thought about brass-playing was actually wrong. The common myths about what to do and how to do it will reveal themselves thanks to your new Psychology (how the system works).
