There are many approaches to piano theory. They range from the
simple technique of reading music and touching the keys, to
playing-by-ear, but few have taken the inner path that begins in
the soul. Mildred Portney Chase merged her piano lessons with the
discipline of mindful Buddhist practice and created an experience
that evokes not just music for the pleasure of the listener, but a
journey that leads the student to a world of calm and peacefulness
flowing from the soul out into the universe . . . ever-evolving
day-by-day within the heart of the student. She writes: "Just being
at the piano egoless is to each time seek to reach that place where
the only thing that exists is the sound and moving toward the
sound. The music on the page that was outside of you is now within
you and moves through you; you are a channel for the music, and
play from the centre of your being . . . You are at one with
yourself and the act and feel as if the playing has already
happened and you are effortlessly releasing it. The music is in
your hands, in the air, in the room, the music is everywhere and
the whole universe is contained in the experience of playing."
