Thanks Tom for another great article, honestly I like seeing your emails flood my inbox because I know each piece has some nugget in them.
I like the opening quote from Confucius, especially the part that says “Success depends upon previous preparation,” earlier in my musical journey I felt less confident on stage, then I realized this happens anytime I felt and was less prepared.
Also, I personally think temperaments play a role in this issue of “thinking on stage” some are more analytical while others are more expressive. The expressive temperament will turn to warm up quickly and be entertainment oriented whiles the analytic will like to break things down and analyze why he has to do them.
So my point is depending on which temperament a person is heavily leaning on, by nature will have that habit even if they are musically inclined.
Being aware and dealing with this during rehearsals (practice) will go a long way to even this out and add more emotional content to one’s performance.
Great insight, JC! Thanks! I’m glad you look forward to the emails. Tom
Another great topic yet again! perfect example of what Tom means about Bono is US festival 1983. He climbed the rigging high above the 100,000+ crowd. That’s making a statement!
