Performing an instrument presupposes a complex brain activity... controlling, developping and practicing the most appropriate activity, changes the simple performance in a deep wellbeing therapeutic powerfull tool.
Each music language and genre has a specific perculiarity of approach but they all have in common the MODULARITY structure inherent both at music and brain.
As MODULAR I intend something that can be layered on something else building a multitasking process.
Performing a polyphonic composition composed by an early music composer (Bach, Frescobaldi, Palestrina) the musician simultaneously will mentally pronounce:
the notes of the main melody (Tenor)
the notes of the other melodies (Soprano, Bass, Alto, Discantus...)
And he/she will also keep track of the pulse counting:
pulses in the bar
bars
Focused on this simultaneous multitasking activity, the brain rational part is completely absorbed with the consequence of leaving the emotional part in a relaxed state of contemplation.
This kind of meditation stops the anxiety induced from the rational brain side that, in a normal situation, works against the subject pushing the emotional side to produce unnecessary hormons that poison the body.
