Musicians Guide Podcast Feature: Interview with Marianne Ploger Part 2
"Marianne Ploger makes her way back to the podcast for an amazing conversation about reforming classical music training by teaching our intuition to become conscious awareness. We all intrinsically understand the music we play, but we learn it through the interface of our instrument. With The Ploger Method and the newly launched Ploger Method Institute, Marianne is reframing our musical minds to help us achieve musical freedom through thorough understanding.
“One of the reasons our rock musicians and jazz musicians are some of the best musicians around is because they are improvising right away, playing by ear and figuring out how music works in the way that language is taught.”
“It isn’t enough for us to play the right notes. It isn’t even enough to play the right notes beautifully. Those things have to communicate to the audience and we have to make sure that is happening at all different levels - physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual - it all has to be there.”
“Brilliant musicians use their whole brain.”
Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts to hear some really insightful analysis of where our current musical training lacks, and how Marianne was driven to create her very own method that combats the gaps in musical understanding."
