&lt;br&gt;Le parole:
&lt;br&gt;I see trees of green, red roses too
&lt;br&gt;I see them bloom for me and you
&lt;br&gt;And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;I see skies of blue and clouds of white
&lt;br&gt;The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
&lt;br&gt;And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
&lt;br&gt;Are also on the faces of people going by
&lt;br&gt;I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
&lt;br&gt;They're really saying I love you.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
&lt;br&gt;They'll learn much more than I'll never know
&lt;br&gt;And I think to myself what a wonderful world
&lt;br&gt;Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.</description>

    <title>Feb 28, &quot;The King's speech&quot; and music making</title>
    <link>http://www.monicacuneo.com/Kato-Havas.html</link>
    <description>I've seen The King's speech! Nothing special abut this, maybe you too have seen it, like a lot of other people. I enjoyed it so much that I went to see it four times! (really unusual for me).

What I loved is how they depict the personal story of a powerful man who, despite all his power, cannot express himself because he is trapped by physical blockages and fears. It was very interesting to see how the speech therapist works on the physical, mental and social aspects of the king's problems and fears. He introduces movement to create a &quot;flow&quot; for the words, exercises for control and coordination.

In the king I saw the average classical music violin and viola performer, in situations where he is exposed to other people's judgement, facing the threatening audience, with the musical power trapped by physical tensions and stage fright, with insecurities about his ability to perform certain passages, fears of always having to be good, never being allowed to make mistakes, always very serious about the whole matter.

The king is allowed, even urged to say things one is &quot;not supposed to say&quot;, the therapist makes the situation, their relationship, not so serious, letting the king do things he was &quot;not supposed to do&quot;, going back the king's fears since he was a child. Eventually the king regains his confidence and is able to speak with ease and express himself (and is happier).

This is very similar to Kato Havas's New Approach: eliminating physical tensions, creating a continuous flow through the rhythmic pulse, enjoying playing, without focusing on the mistakes, not being serious about it. With the New Approach, it's possible to regain one's musical speech, play with more ease and really enjoy playing even a solo.

Whether you have already done it or not, I recommend you to watch the short videos of the New Approach workshop and the film &quot;The King's speech&quot;.

Then, if you want go further, you can read the books &quot;Stage fright&quot; and &quot;A New Approach&quot; and watch the teaching DVD.

I wish you to enjoy both the videos and the film (also there is very good music in it).

Best wishes

Monica</description>
