I find so much truth and wisdom in this post that I think its content could be extended to our daily life. Inherited or built-by-experience core beliefs that create layers between our worthy beautiful self, its aspirations and the environment in which we live. I absolutely agree with Rachel that practicing open mindedness in learning a piece of music is one of the most effective tool to build new skills, physical and mental, that would put us closer to the piece and probably, in the process, to who we truly are. Thank you Rachel for this immensely rich post.

This is an illuminating & useful post. It’s easy to be hard on ourselves in pursuit of progress. It’s difficult to know how we get in our own way & once we are “wised up”, to accept that something needs to change. You showed me how to identify what to change & how to do it. Thank you.
