Denver University Professor and incredible pianist Peter John Stoltzman stops by to share keys to mindset on the bandstand and as a practicer. He shares a practical exercise for practicing changing your mindset and staying in the "flow state." He shares the need to oscillate between teaching/learning in the style of Charlie Banacos (precise, left-brained) and Kenny Werner (spiritual, mind-based, right-brained).

Hi Jeremy & Peter. Thanks for this post. I've experienced that "I suck/they think I suck" vibe. Way back when in college I started playing piano. I found a simple work around. I got a cassette recorder, and whenever I practiced I'd put a 90 minute cassette in. Depending on my schedule I'd practice for 45 minutes or 90. Two things came out of this. First, the tape doesn't lie, and second, my mind wasn't busy watching the clock and I could focus on what I was doing. An added benefit to this was, any happy mistakes were captured on the tape and I could go back later and revisit them. One thing I think really helped was I would wait a day or two before listening to my recordings which served to put some space emotionally between where I was while practicing and where I was listening. BTW after being off the piano for 40 plus years (life took over) I have a cassette tape recorder and have been back on it now for just under two years...this time with no mid-terms or finals. Open to your thoughts on this method...love the levels from Inner to Meta. Thanks again.
My onion of awareness had to shine its flashlight on the volume buttons too much - the guest was on the down low, volume-wise. It's worth it - the loudest voices aren't always the wisest. The stuff you both are mentioning is good for everyone to hear. I think terms like "meta-cognition" and "flow state" might make more sense to westerners, vs for example old Tibetan or Japanese terms. Even tho the above terms might seem a bit corny, corporate seminar-ish, it's the same situation, in a different cultural context. All roads lead to Rome. Despite the different terminology, this video explains what people mean by "music is my meditation", at least as far as I understand that phrase. Because it gets you to that place.
Gizzy: FANTASTIC NAME!!!!
Hey Jeremy, if you can send me the audio for this UA-cam video, I can clean it up and level balance it for you 😀
Yeah, the issue is with the guest microphone
Hey Peter and Jeremy,
thanks for the great talk on a highly interesting topic for improvisers!
I really liked your reference sheets. Is there any published resource to get those (maybe a book to buy or a website)? Is it completly your own work or did you adapt from other sources?
Thx in advance for your reply!
I'll ping Peter and ask him, but i think these are his!
Dear Jeremy, thank you for this video, however I agree that the audio imbalance between the host and the guest was somewhat disappointing.
❤ I enjoyed where the two of you showed actual “doing it” on the piano.
I like the idea of this “game” but maybe you can modify the rules little bit for regular players, not teachers. For instance, it’s very hard to guess what other player(s) is doing out of the many choices! For example, any kind of playing can be called “rhythm”. Don’t you think? Maybe you can set a specific thing you can listen for such as a repeating pattern so it doesn’t require a mind reading😂. But nevertheless, the exercise idea is intriguing. As long as you get something out of it, that’s the whole point of an exercise. Maybe you’ll get better at mind reading as well! I still appreciated your video! Thank you!
