V first aspired to be a professional singer in elementary school,and eventually began taking saxophone lessons in early middle school as a means of pursuing the career. He is the eldest of three children, with a younger brother and sister. It is a matter of preparing for that moment.V was born Kim Tae-hyung on Decemin Daegu, South Korea, and grew up in Geochang County. There does not have to be anything majestic or grand about musicality, instead, we can seek the stark simplicity of musicality. The takeout container in this way is Godlike, and the state of man could be represented by the butt. The cigarette butt, also white against the stark background of the city street, is the small part of us that seeks to be something greater. This take out container abandoned on the street has a napkin coming out of it with all the bursting grace of a dancer or the robes of a classical sculpture. Instead, in a wabi sabi style it shows what is imperfect, yet has great beauty. Vitality is also from outside of ourselves.Īll of these things can be considered when reaching toward musicality in one’s musical practice.Ībout the cover photo: This was intentionally chosen so as to not pander to a splashy, fun image of what musicality is. In this sense, what is truly needed is vital. The understanding of pipes is vital for a plumber’s job. What awakens it, what grabs it and what makes it soar? Vitality is also created by importance and relevance. One metaphor that may work is being an “empty tea cup” then you are able to be filled by what’s happening around you, and you are open to what you can learn. Drinking a lot of water might help! Also, it has become a cliche but “an open mind” is pertinent being able to perform without expectations and execute without stress allow you to be able to move freely as needed when the music calls for it. Relaxation and ease of musles allow you to move easily between notes and tones whether singing or playing. It’s said that being in a foreign country where you must speak a language out of necessity is one of the surest ways to learn quickly.įluidity can be achieved starting with the body. Playing with other musicians, and being immersed in the language of music is the only way. It’s easy to see when someone you are talking to is fluent in a language or not.įluency can be gained through use (not repetition). In a jazz room where an instrumentalist is soloing, and playing lines, and quoting other songs and other riffs, that is a language that only those who know those tunes will grasp the virtuosity of. If he played at a jazz gig, where people are in suits, no one might get it. That is why, for example, a folk tune by Woody Guthrie which only has three chords, becuase it’s in a langauge he is fluent in, and that the listener is fluent in, can resonate well. Knowing the language, and speaking it regularly, and having the audience understand that language: when these three things come together you are fluent on your instrument. When a dancer’s movements are fluid, one is connected to the other seamlessly. Whatever poetic thing you can reach for, this ease of movement is as important in music as it is in dance.

They soak entire landscapes in a monsoon, or run like a river to the sea. Far from simply chops, musicality is the grammar of being able to speak freely on your instrument or with your voice. Is it becuase the music is alive, or it makes you feel more alive? Discuss. But there’s that moment where you lose yourself as a listener, where the music is a force that envelops you, and wraps around your head. In a clinical way perhaps it connects to our limbic system. We relate to music the way we might to nature, or an animal, or another person. Sound waves are real things in the air, touching our bodies and ear drums. It pairs up with our own breathing and heart rate. The “touching” of musicality is sensed with the heart and soul, perhaps? What is it, exactly? It can’t be measured, bought, sold or handled. Instead, there are moments within songs, within riffs and within appoaches that touch musicality. Musicality isn’t something that can be achieved throughout an entire set, it’s not like turning on a faucet. Sometimes I see musicians that are so fantastic that they touch musicality.
