El músico consciente | Paulina Derbez | TEDxPaseoSantaLucía


when my brothers and I were

little ones

my grandmother gave us a piano

as we all started on the path of the

music

however when one of my sisters

I was four years old, my father gave him

a violin that apparently does not

interested and folk life of a closet by

many years when my mother was

cleaning said wardrobe her daughter that the

violin old and dusty to what she

he wondered why Pauline does not touch the

fiddle

since then this instrument has been

my partner with whom from early

I was able to step on stages

international

this passion for music led me to

make the decision at 19 years of age

age to continue my studies at the

professional in the conservatory of the

Swiss Italian with carlo that was for in

Lugano Switzerland

Lugano is a beautiful city located

between mountains and lakes

At first everything seemed to work

wonder my teacher was dedicated

exclusively to improve my device

technical but at the end of this period

When I was designated a piece I gave myself

that despite the heavy

travel the world by playing in

international scenarios

despite being already in a conservatory

studying at a professional level I did not know

study my only method of study

was going slow or fast which caused

endless physical tensions

mental and emotional in my study

instrumental everyday so I had

to stop touching a period of time

one day

reflecting why why are you

tensions because this barrier exists

between myself and the music between me

same instrument because as art

of magic and next thought for its

to my mind every problem either

technical or musical is solved first

on a mental level, any problem either

technical or musical is solved first to

mental level

it was the moment of epiphany for me

because at that moment I closed my eyes and

I said to myself touching tense

that is to say as everyone told me

paulina these tense when you play or

conscious he had believed it and even more

my unconscious was creating it to a

physical level

I knew right now that if I really

I wanted to transform my relationship with

music and the violin had to apply

in the daily instrumental study

this technique is saying solve either

all technical or musical problem

first on a mental level what I would do and

would convert the mechanical repetitions

to creative and conscious repetitions and

it would also take my ear to do my

best teacher in the daily study

instrumental something that impacts me is that

at that time I did not know absolutely

nothing

the visual motor test this technique

was implemented in the 80s by the

doctor dennis white and is used by

the athletes and the nasa and consists of

visualize yourself making a

certain activity with great results

on a physical level if the athletes use

this technique because the musicians

also not another moment of revelation

in my walk discoveries was the

next at that time my teacher

Pauline said to me you have to be more

expressive when you play more expressive

but how to spend with cheaper that I

it caused even more tension because

tell a student that it has to be

more expressive without giving any

tool is like putting it in a

labyrinth without exit

one day when I was walking in the

beautiful forests of switzerland

I started to play without touching that is me

I began to play in my mind the melody of

concert of brahms without the violin like this

only the physical execution but without

he and another revelation came to me by

first time I felt emotional field no longer

it was just a scary fear to

wrong the classes was an emotion

unique and authentic the honor actress

those and he was starting to wake me up

sup at that moment I had to

find an effective tool for

develop my emotional field in a way

conscious and clear what better than

nature itself

the muse of so many composers I discovered

that having an image in my mind

it would create a specific emotion

and manatt and therefore a fair and

natural is to say to every thought

corresponds a feeling and this one

fair and natural action in this way the

musician can become an actor

sound in action

this began to have an impact

extremely positive in the body

tensions began to diminish so

that there is no day that the sentence of

famous violinist yehudi menuhin no me

echoes and this is to touch a

instrument

it takes the mind of a jurist and

athlete’s condition was the same yehudi

menuhin who led the yoga teacher

iyengar europe

this is the basis for an effective technique

and solid of an instrumentalist does not lie

in the hours and hours and hours of study

I already know the body well-being and in its

body wellness

in relation to if at the time so

what is essential to carry out

physical exercises before during and

after each musical practice

let’s see in the wisdom of our

body

this basis for our effective technique and

solid

in this way the musician can

compete in a sound athlete in action

all this has a very significant impact

positive

in something very common the scenic panic

store that has had stage fright

sometime this is something very common

within the musical environment for example

if there is a concert in two weeks a

skin starts thinking two weeks ago

there will not come to this safe person

I’m going to make a mistake where I always

I ‘m wrong what we’re doing is

recreating a future situation but of

distorted shape

it is here where the visual motor test

comes into action that is to visualize the

fifteen days before an event

important doing this activity such

and what do we want to carry out in

the case of musicians

for example visualize of I know how

go on stage as we want to

our technical and musical level

the emotions to emanate iese and that

intimate communication when I put the

listen to all this in detail

most impressive of this exercise is that

when the day of this event arrives

we feel as if we had already been

there present

It’s just our best ally in

our scenic and musical execution

now all these tools that

the conscious musician wants to put on

can only transcend if they take

out innovative techniques in the

musical institutions

it’s time for changes time of

reflect on where the

musical education

what is the true mission of the

artist

at present the conscious musician

wants to propose three actions to take

the first is to carry out techniques

bodily in music schools

these can be tai chi yoga technique

alexander

take the students to be aware of

the strength and wisdom that is in your

body so that they become athletes

sounds the following techniques of

concentration

I recently had the opportunity to

listen to an interview made to joshua

bell one of the great violinists of

moment the interviewer asked

teacher instrument is meditation

active to what he answered so is the

only way I can stand on

a scenario is having a level

deep concentration

I think that if I know it says this endorses the

importance of implementing techniques

Concentration in the school curriculum

these can be techniques of

meditation or management techniques month

it is our mind that is the

fundamental element as creator with the

sound world and it’s in our mind where

lie the real solutions

the next is to give the opportunity to

pupils to perform theatrical workshops

When I was in Switzerland, I went to see a

theater play a play that I

has marked for life in the

stage a few newspapers nothing more

but as soon as the actor came on the scene

my mind was transported to another time

another dimension

I realized this is one of the missions

of art take us to that other time to

that other dimension

since then I started to venture into

the multidisciplinary field what

led to experience in a way

completely different

the scenario is why I think it is

fundamental to give this opportunity to

music students to experience the

scenario in a much richer way

much wider which will benefit

not only its technical execution but

also musical

an example that all this is possible

It is the Gijón Conservatory in Spain

in this technical institution

relaxation meditation techniques

concentration techniques are now part

of the curriculum undoubtedly a

example to follow for several

institutions worldwide

the conscious musician excites me that the

conscious musician be part of this

innovation in education at the

global and conscious is a book already

published in Spanish digital version

in English and Spanish and in version

printed in Spanish is part of it

several libraries in the world and several

teachers like in puerto rico spain

Mexico and Colombia are already using

in short for musicians artists

let’s have clear the mental sound map of

each piece under study and we won each

emotion to emanate turning us like this

sound actors on stage

let’s see our body as the base

for our effective and solid technique

let’s become sound athletes in action and

the most important and the most important thing

let the power of sound to guide us

in our endless learning

in the twilight of the night the moon

reflects its mysterious face in the waters

taciturn of the night lake taking me

with his singing to a place without time or

space me

[Music]

i

[Music]

the most is the longest

[Music]

and

[Music]

[Music]

but they were more

[Music]

[Music]

while already
