Inspired by the story of my friend - a pianist who was afraid of deep water and could barely paddle and kick in a swimming pool, taking swimming lessons and trying to obtain diving certification in order to fulfill her dream of volunteering for Marine Conservation projects. My study of the subject by using this analogy: the fear and panic for the unknown (the immensity of the ocean and what could be waiting ahead of her once she dived in) can be very similar (if not equal) to how a non-musician would feel before reading a piece of music, playing a musical instrument, and/or trying to give a concert on the stage.
(Special thanks to the generosity of Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal)
