To fully internalize the language of music in order to become a fully fluent musician, you must find the mindset of a child to be full of awe and wonder. The music we practise in this state is unsophisticated, yet it feels very deep and powerful, especially in the early stages when the language used must be very simple. To do this, we must let go of our adult musical taste and the associated repertoire, styles and genres, as well as any theoretical ideas of what music is or how it functions, and focus on the very simple model of musical language that I teach, practising in a pure, playful, unselfconscious state, like a small child.
