Lesson 2/3/09 - Breathing

I took a yoga class followed by my piano lesson. Breathing in yoga and piano is important. The audience wants to hold their breath in anticipation of music resolution.

Think about the audience breathing and grabbing their attention with the music so well that they stop everything, including breathing. Then feel them exhale as you bring resolution to the song.

Sometimes I rush through a song and forget to slow down and look for those parts where I can affect my audience's breathing. Just slow down and let the chords ring sometimes.
