Where does your attention go when you play or sing?

Expanding ourself comes naturally. When we use any instrument for long enough, whether bow, oboe, pencil or paintbrush, our nervous system starts to include it in our sense of self. They become part of our schema – the inside idea of ourselves in our brains.

What happens if we start to include more of ourselves, and our environment when we’re making music?

How does our perception of yourself change if you don’t end at your skin? After all, your senses can feel further. You can sense distances without using your vision. It’s not always a sense that’s well honed, you’re more used to seeing with our eyes once you’ve mastered walking.
