Dayna shares with her own students and children this role-playing and visualization technique where the performer is asked to pretend to be his/her favorite artist or musician. To act and feel like their favorite while performing, without being judged on their own play. This game of pretense allows someone to access their own hidden musicianship, public speaking ability, writing skill or any other capacity in a new way. Is it being fake? No way. It just removes one's own interference of self-doubt and criticism. The performance becomes free of your own inhibitions. Dayna emphasizes, "This technique helped me escape my natural stage fright and anxiety, and I continue to use it to this day. When I listen to recordings of practices and performances where I've actively done this, I can hear and see a difference. I relax into the beauty of the music, letting my full ability shine through."
-------- The Art of Violin by Henryk Szeryng
Dayna translated the book of this master in violin. It's worth gold to any violinist who wants to be the best and master the craft and art of the violin. Get it on Amazone.

2. Let go of the expectations of others. This is the only way to find your own way.
3. Seek out people who will compensate and add to your existing skills and talents and who will uplift you.
