Summary

The ways of the Zen mindset and its nature will come naturally to some, but for those such as myself, these skills can be learned without being born into it. Here is why I say this: The philosophy behind this book is not to learn the cello skill, but to adapt to the healthy lifestyle that allows you to perform with ease and expression. Those with "natural talent" are actually demonstrating this lifestyle naturally, mostly based on environmental factors.

Masterful control is at the fingertips of all who come to accept the principles of a Zen lifestyle. The cello was designed to be performed with ease and comfort. Your experience while performing was meant to be completely free from struggle.

Tension, stress, and impatience has no place in the mind of masterful cellists. While emotion is still present, its manifestation within the performance is under constant guidance. This ability to self-regulate the many facets of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves is what allows you to gain access to masterful cello performance. As you can guess, the ability to grow in these fields will also lead you to success in many other areas outside of cello performance.

Very helpful

This short text has opened my eyes to the stresses I experience as an adult cello learner. Really useful.
