The basic principles of this type of  study are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PHYSICAL  PREPARATION:<\/strong> It is recommended that the student realize relaxation and  tonification exercises, appropriate to his\/her age, before studying.  In doing so, the student not only acquires the muscle-tone necessary  for studying the instrument without strain, but also increases  his\/her capacity for concentration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMOTIONAL  PREPARATION:<\/strong> It is important for the student to be aware of the feeling he or she  wishes to express when performing the musical piece being studied. In  this respect, the teacher guides each student differently, as the  emotional dimension of the student is explored in a different way  with each one, depending on age and temperament. The process of  visualization, i.e., visualizing a mental image of Nature related to  the musical piece being studied, is essential to the successful  expression of a specific emotion in performing the piece. In this  way, the student can develop a deeply authentic musical  interpretation, as a specific mental image corresponds to a specific  emotion which will elicit the required physical action to perform the  piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MENTAL  PREPARATION:<\/strong> The student should mentally review the piece being studied,  contemplating the sound and expressive character of the music. The  student will thus become clearly focused on what he or she wants to  hear when performing the piece. At the same time, technical problems  can be addressed in the first instance at the mental level. For  example, if the student has a problem with a change of position of  the left hand, the first thing to do is to visualize him\/herself  realizing this change in a precise and relaxed way. Through such  visualization before physically performing the piece, the student  will have acquired the self-confidence necessary to execute the  change successfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OBJECTIVES  OF THE METHOD OF STUDY:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To learn to solve problems in a healthy and creative way<\/li>\n<li>To enjoy studying a musical instrument<\/li>\n<li>To eliminate fear of &#8220;making a mistake&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>To develop a harmonious relationship between musician and instrument on physical, emotional and mental levels<\/li>\n<li>To develop a firm and balanced physical posture, which is fundamental  \tto play a musical instrument well<\/li>\n<li>To forge a connection between the world of music and the internal world of the student so that tension-free and authentic interpretation of  \ta musical piece is possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GENERAL PRINCIPLES The daily study of the instrument is based on the Integral Development Course of musical instruction.
