Taiji for Musicians

As musicians, it is not uncommon for us to feel physically and mentally challenging during practices and performances. Yet when executed with balance and clarity, we can be at ease in music playing. In the midst of movement and stillness, how can we find the center outwardly and inwardly? When we are centered, the relationship with others, take the example of a musical instrument, will become more friendly and mutually beneficial. Harmony is therefore naturally

manifested.

In this workshop, we will begin by practicing a set of preparatory exercises for the purpose of warming up, followed by the exploration of several formats of Taiji movements. You can have your instruments at hand, in case you want to see for yourself whether it is effective or not in dealing with practical issues.
