T.A.P. the Flow

4 Lessons Easy

About this course

Hi!

... and welcome to this free short-course to help you TAP the nature of music within and liberate your expansive potential.

As you watch each video and go through the downloadable PDF, you’ll be learning the essential framework of the Sound~Your~Self approach to creative health.

I’m excited to be sharing this straightforward, yet revolutionary, method for teaching creativity that has so often been hijacked for various purposes other than supporting people in their own creative birthright.

Maybe this will be just the trick to either get you back to the piano (or other instrument) as you’ve so often wanted. Or maybe it will serve to deepen and enrich your existing practice.

Either way, I hope this resource makes it possible for you to have a different quality of experience of your own creativity and presence both on your instrument and in all aspects of your life.

Here’s to your ongoing delight and enjoyment! May you enjoy the richness of your own intuitive, creative well as you more fully inhabit your innate musicality.

Warmly,

Daniel

TAP Touchstone

Discover the first point of alignment, or how to begin assessing the extent to which you are connected to your creative source energy. When you notice where you stand in relation to that, it's much easier to make the kinds of adjustments you may need to make internally to get realigned and "in the flow."

TAP Practice

This video looks at the 1st step in the 7-step Tuneup, a tool describing what to DO to realign yourself with your creative source energy. This is a reliable way to get "reconnected" when you find yourself feeling creatively stuck or blocked.

Daniel Barber

Clearly, it’s a pivotal time in many ways. As it happens, I've spent most of my life witnessing and working with many smart, large-hearted and wise people as we've applied ourselves to the numerous and persistent challenges facing us. One of my main questions has always been, how do we get from where we are to where we want to be? I've come to think that "how" question is largely unproductive. It leads to an over-susceptibility to paralysis by analysis. A better question is "What do I do now?" That question tends to awaken and direct me toward what I want to see and the way I want to be. It gets me out of my head and plants me in the present. I’m forced to acknowledge reality, take stock of who I am now and then engage doing and non-doing in as much awareness as possible. Sound-making, especially when it comes from deep within the present moment, is a profoundly creative and connective force. My name is Daniel Barber and my spirit name is Two Trees. I’m in the business of living musically and I work primarily with capable and curious people who yearn for that as well. Since 2015 I've been working with individuals and groups using a process I designed called T.A.P. the Flow along with a framework for accessing and nurturing innate creativity called SoundYourSelf. It combines mindful presence with a unique musical improvisation modality that helps people engage their authenticity, realize and liberate their unique offerings, and claim their naturally powerful place in the world.
