Produktbeschreibung

Harmony begins in the Soul, Long before the first note is Played

There are many approaches to piano theory. They range from the simple

technique of reading music and touching the keys, to playing-by-ear, but

few have taken the inner path that begins in the soul. Mildred Portney

Chase merged her piano lessons with the discipline of mindful Buddhist

practice and created an experience that evokes not just music for the

pleasure of the listener, but a journey that leads the student to a world of

calm and peacefulness flowing from the soul out into the universe . . .

ever-evolving day-by-day within the heart of the student.

She writes: "Just being at the piano egoless is to each time seek to

reach that place where the only thing that exists is the sound and moving

toward the sound. The music on the page that was outside of you is now

within you, and moves through you; you are a channel for the music, and

play from the center of your being . . . You are at one with yourself and the act, and feel as if the playing has already happened and you are effortlessly releasing it. The music is in your hands, in the air, in the room, the music is everywhere, and the whole universe is contained in the experience of playing."
