This will go great with my tutorial on Massaging the Elderly

[@crosstalk9946]

When do we learn to be afraid of standing and making a noise. Before you can own a space or transform an audience’s mood you have to learn not to cowtow to, or fear your own internal voices, which are continually evaluating and judging your actions. These exercises look pseudish and off the wall but are where we could go creatively without any embarrassment at the age of six or seven. We have to work very hard to shed our hides or carapace after adolescence, great workshop - doubt I’d have the courage to offer anything in one.

This is surprisingly tonal and diatonic.

[@marjoriehalloranmusic]

Brilliant. What a way to explore sound in space and encourage us to broaden our horizons and expand our comfort zones. All the idiots belittling this-- I'm really glad you're not part of the new/experimental music scene.

[@samdavis519]

Our tendency to see this as unbearably corny or uncomfortable betrays the excessive self-awareness that prevents any form of play. I see a defense mechanism masquerading itself as maturity that is really there to mask the fear of vulnerability (aka authenticity).

[@racso20000]

Granted these people are all rich pretentious teachers, but this is just an artistic exercise, legitimately what is wrong w this?

[@TheKZOShow]

Me too. This is pure pain to watch. Rich Evans is right.... This is garbage.

[@JafuetTheSame]

Love these people who are talking about schlocks while they came from a channel where fat goodfornothings are spending their time laughing their bottoms off 1980's instructional tapes.

[@gussymang5035]
