Resisting the Tempo Police: Claiming Your Musical Freedom
Oct 30, 2023 Season 1 Episode 4
Lisa Spector

I'm sharing a story close to my heart about my ongoing battle with the Tempo Police. You know, those invisible critics that sometimes haunt us as we play, telling us we're too fast or too slow. They can be real joy-killers!

But guess what? I've learned to take charge of my tempo and kick those Tempo Police to the curb. I've found that the most beautiful music happens when I allow myself to play at the tempo that feels just right for me. No more conforming to external judgments or rigid metronome rules.

I'll take you on a journey through my own struggles with tempo, and I'll share the liberating secrets I've discovered along the way. We'll explore why it's essential to set your own tempo, be it fast, slow, or somewhere in between. I'll reveal how this change in mindset has not only improved my playing but also enriched my musical experience.

So, if you've ever felt pressured to conform to someone else's tempo or beat yourself up for not playing at the "right" speed, this episode is for you. Let's break free from the Tempo Police together and rediscover the joy of playing music on our own terms.

Tune in and let's embrace the freedom to express ourselves through our unique tempi. It's a musical journey worth taking!

Can't wait to share this transformative experience with you.

Happy listening and happy playing!
