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."

This video lays out the "Holy Trinity of Improv" -or- the "Three Phases of Focus." This is a simple prescription for what to focus on as you improvise.

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

Perhaps more than ever, people are feeling unsure. The most valuable skill we could possibly learn is to navigate the unknown masterfully. I’ve spent my career working with many wonderful and wise people addressing numerous persistent challenges facing individuals, communities and society. I began my career in social work, did statistical analysis of social systems for a decade and spent 15 years doing promotional videos for nonprofits. And I was a deeply engaged activist for campaign finance reform and against the death penalty. Throughout most of that, a central question was always “how do we get from where we are to where we want to be?” After years trying to fix the world, I had a series of epiphanies in 2001 pointing me toward my own healing work. I ended up playing music professionally and experiencing the transformational power of sound-making for shifting energy and making connections. I now think my previous "how" question is unproductive and hobbled with paralysis by analysis, myopia, and other distortions. I find a more fruitful question is "What do I do now?" This tends to direct us more immediately toward what we want to see, as who we want to be. My name is Daniel Barber and my spirit name is Two Trees. Since 2015, I've used a process I designed called TAP the Flow to help people quickly learn to improvise on piano, which reshapes their relationships with themselves and nurtures confidence and creativity in all areas of their lives.
