What I would add is that stage 4 includes an ability to self-forget (for want of a better word), thinking only of sound, expression, phrasing, all those musical things that teachers teach, as well as what is coming from the other players. The major difficulty is getting away from ego, and a narcissistic obsession with how we are perceived by others and whether or not we are perfect. I'm not sure we can reach that without some serious suffering that relativizes the need to be a 'star.' Maybe it can't be taught, but it can be modelled.<br /><br />Thanks for putting your ideas out there on cyberspace!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082963011738738617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095334346946225978.post-80680374676528955342011-02-17T13:58:24.107-08:002011-02-17T13:58:24.107-08:00Nice organization, great insights.
