TPTV - Arnold Jacobs: The Importance of Recall...The Quiet Moment

Arnold Jacobs discusses the importance of recall in the mind. Jacobs conducted research into the subject of being tone deaf, which led to his study of the brain. He developed a sequence of listening to a sound source followed by silence, which was utilized as a period of recall in order to train the mind to hear sounds more clearly. One should not mix up what the of sensory and motor nerve activities do. While playing issue statements (motor nerve activity), do not ask questions (sensory nerve activity). It is very important to work from a point of relative success, not failure. Crawl, walk, run. Instrumentalists cannot play by phrase. They must build the phrase. Make sure each pitch has its own stimulus. The audience hears the phrase, but we create it one note at a time, just like we use individual words to create a sentence. People hear and evaluate the words as a sentence, but we build the sentence one word at a time. #ArnoldJacobs #JakePed
