I recently went to a jam session (即兴演奏) with some other musicians in town. When I used to jam with other musicians, I spent more time in my head1 about may drumming (鼓声) instead of2 paying attention to what was going on. This time though, I found that I was more3 and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
Because of this, our4 was better than ever before, and I could feel the audience was5 the music more too, because the music was6 about me; it was about all of us connecting through the7 language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were8 while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new9 of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, there was no ego (自我) or one-upping. There were just us10 ourselves with our open hearts.
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in11 , which is to see past their own egos, and to listen to or connect with their12 and fellow musicians. I've13 all of this thanks to my practice of being a more kindhearted and caring person. As I grow into a more kindhearted and caring person, I can now bring14 to not only those in my daily life, but also through my music, and to those who15 .
