It is learning how to play without physical or mental tension. It is the practice of using precision and accuracy in order to use the least amount of force possible to make the sound that you want. On the mental front (tougher for me) is quieting my mind and being present with each note played, not thinking about where I need to be with my fingers but where is the song going melodically. This all possible because of all the prep (everyday for 8 years and loving it…now) done in the Daily Challenges using the same method.
