Today, let's celebrate Victoria Mairal Cruz, a violinist who discovered how much her state of being and happiness influenced her ability to think, and therefore was able to “dominate” in her recital (her words)!

Here’s Victoria's amazing experience, some years back, when she was my Art of Freedom® student:

“When I was practicing before my solo recital, I finally understood what you're talking about with The Art of Freedom.

When I was happy and relaxed and calm, I was finally free to really think through every movement for every note, and once I did that, the sound came on its own!! It was ringing and beautiful and clear for every note and I have never been happier! It was the most amazing thing.

And the best part is, I was able to play CALMLY!

Then, in my recital, in the minute before I went onstage, I said, “OK, now I am going to pull all of my focus right here into a sphere in front of me. It is right in front of me right now. Nothing matters but my focus on this moment.

And then I went onstage and I moved my focus to the music, the notes in front of me, and it STAYED there, because I was calm and confident and happy!!

And it was so amazing. I am just now learning, in the past week or so, how to truly focus in that way and it is so incredible!

So thank you to you because you have helped me in your ways on my journey to this freedom you keep talking about.

Thank you for teaching me to set myself free.

It was like when I practiced, I remembered all the little things I've learned over so many years, and I was finally able to implement it all and REALLY get the sound I wanted!

And while practicing, too, I thought of “Stop. Think. Play.” and it helped me so much! In my recital, I played so beautifully- Czardas- clearly. I mastered the fast part, and I dominated it in the recital!

Looking back, it was one of my proudest moments. Thank you for being a key influence in my success.”
