Releasing your inner Rocker
I play a little music, and have since I was seven. Through the years, I’ve put in quite a few hours in practice, group rehearsals, performances, choir practices, and church worship. Why spend all that time? What is it about making music that grabs hold and keeps us coming back?
If you enjoy music, you may have felt it. You’ve practiced well and the piece is under your fingers. . . you take a deep breath, let loose and give it all you’ve got. The process moves from being an analytical production to a creative expression. You just play and it feels good, sounds good, is good. You release your inner Rocker.
I think we all have this ability–some of us express it in music, some in gardening, some in sports, or graphic design, or teaching, or parenting. The skills are learned and the heart is there–you just quit worrying about it and play.
So here’s a challenge for all of us. Relax, give it a try–don’t worry about the neighbors or the competitors or the economy. You’ve practiced well, the melody and rhythm are right there, ready to be tapped. Relax, create, enjoy.
You rock!
