How Your Emotions Reflect in Your Piano Playing

Hi I'm Tony Newton with Expert Village and we are going to talk about playing with emotion and passion. Okay the first thing to understand is and not to have a fear about is the instrument is extension of you so however you are feeling like you are feeling sad then it is naturally going to express your self in your playing. If you are very happy then that is going to express in your playing so the issue is control of those emotions and the intensity of what emotion that you want and how much of it do you want. Let's say if we are doing something somber don't thing happy if you are playing something somber try to match your thought with your creative expression. So I want to play something pretty so. Now don't forget want we talked about the breathing and relaxation this is where it comes in especially if it is for more emotional things. Some times that means playing a little slower and speeding up a little bit. Now this is even more somber. This is somber instead of pretty but it has a combination of both.
