How to Focus While Playing the Piano
Hi I'm Tony Newton for Expert Village and we are going to talk about mental focus and concentration today. This is another esoteric concept but not really when you are playing okay when we talk about mental focus and concentration that means that you can not let your mind wonder for one second because what happens is that your trying to create a string of though while you are playing and if you are anywhere else you are going to miss all of the good stuff. You won't be able to express yourself as well as you could if where all there. It is like if you are listening to someone talk to you if your mind is wondering then you can't really respond to them but let's say you want to get a idea across you still have to focus and that means be here now that is a old concept is when you are in the moment nothing can distract you. Now what that does ultimately is that you go deeper and deeper into the music and you get a deeper level of expression and awareness of what you are doing. This is a esoteric concept however once you get the experience in going to these many deeper levels. Like let's say let's put it really simple if I played this 5 note scale I can play this 5 note scale all day. Now if I play the 5 note scale without thinking about it it would be just that but if I play it and continue to play it all day and just stay there.
