Concentration

Music has nothing to do with sound quality...( But yes sound quality matter for me as for you)

As any musician know...

 Jazz or Persian music or classisal or Indian music are all different experience asking something from us:  our attention...

 We concentrate on something we already knew by our attention focus habit...

We dont concentrate on the "unknown" from which our attention focus deviate ( it is not my taste or my habit)...

 The quality of our attention  determine the quality of our concentration in a feed back loop...

To increase our attention  we must expose ourselves to different music from different cultures...

Then our concentration will increase...

There is no concentration  when we listen always the same genre only a body robotic response...

«Taste is a mistress not a teacher»--Groucho Marx

Classical music is as visceral as Jazz but in his own ways...

Musical time is not metronomical time nor acoustical time and in classical as in Jazz, the interpretation of what is written by the musicians or their improvisation together, together with or without a director, must create a time dimension of its own where our soul/body meet.

Music experience of any cultures is rooted in "timbre" experience and is universal. Our body participation as players or as listeners to the vibrating sound source resonate as a new timing and time dimensions...

Rythms are the root and timbre is the tree whose branchs are many  new time dimensions. Concentration is born in our body real or virtual response gestures to the music perceived and/or created.
