I found out about a new resource recently – www.medici.tv

This website broadcasts streaming video on demand of classical music concerts, with great sound and close up footage of the performers!

What an amazing resource!

Anyone, anywhere in the world (providing they have a computer and high-speed internet) can enjoy these *free* performances!

It doesn’t get much better than this!

Check it out!!!

If this isn’t performing in The Zone, I don’t know what is

A favourite excerpt of mine, from R.Strauss’ Alpine Symphony.

Here are 3 inspriational performers – guitarist Andy McKee, bassist Michael Manring, and drummer Terry Bozzio. Some amazing performances!

I really like this audition clip of 4tune on X-Factor.

Watch, and *listen* closely. You can hear that the guys are just a little nervous and cautious in the opening phrases, but after they sing the word “time”, they ‘live’ the song, live in ‘the now’, and give a great performance!

You have to LOVE this performance! It really is a FANTASTIC example of performing in The Zone! During this performance, for all of these musicians – especially the lead-singer/organist/flutist – nothing else exists in the entire universe except ‘the now’ and having a great time putting on an amazing show!

The epitome of The Zone in the principal trumpet’s rendition of the beginning of Mahler’s 5th symphony!

I dug up this inspirational video a while ago on youtube. As they say, it’s an oldie, but it really is a goodie

See and hear Napoleon Hill talking about the mind.
