- Flute

[Guest guest]

!!!

Guess what musical instrument I play.....Flute :-P I don't play as

much anymore...life, being a mom, cub scouts, scrapbooking,

tae-bo...all take up my time but I still love my flute.

I knew you looked like someone I could relate to when I saw your

picture with our future President LOL!!!

Dawn

> I was thinking about it last night in the bathtub (this is where I

do all of my great thinking-the bathroom). For me Taebo has been

pretty parrallel to my experience as a flutist. I am better in the

privacy of my own home when there is no one else around and there is

no pressure. I can pick up on moves easily create my own routines,

push myself for long periods of time, just as I am a fairly

accomplished flutist in the privacy of my own room. You wouldn't

know

it but I am very shy by nature and actually had to see a therapist

for

quite a while as a child because of it. My life has always been

filled

with self-doubt and it took a toll on my flute playing big time.

Whenever I had solos or auditions etc. I would freeze. I would rush

through something marked lentisimo and forget how to count common

time. However when the entire band was playing I was good in my

anonymity. There is no anonymity at the WTC and I can feel my nerves

affecting my ability to pick up new moves, to bala!

> nce and to execute. I need to im

> prove my ability to Taebo but I think my biggest hurdle now is

self-confidence and being able to relax in that type of atmosphere.

Everyone has always told me that I am too tense. I tend to foget

that

I am because where I work tense is par for the course. Tension and

nervousness have affected my health, my passions, my relationships,

my

friendships etc. I beleive that I can break through it. And then I

will really imprve at Taebo and MANY othet things. I would LOVE to be

an instructor and will occassionally make mention of it but I am

going

to try to put it in the far distant future so that I don't get tense!

lol.
