About this exposition

Have you ever lost your motivation and felt stuck in music? I have, but I found a way to overcome these issues: the wisdom of Daoism. If a Daoist faces an unsolvable problem, he sits down and peacefully drinks a tea. It means that sometimes it is better to take step back and let things go. Is this your cup of tea? The purpose of my research is to combine Western music theory with an ancient Chinese philosophy, called Daoism (Taoism). This research is not about theory or exercise – however it contains both – it is more like a new kind of perspective in music, and in improvisation itself. First and foremost, I designed this research to introduce the essence of Daoism and to translate its spirit into music and into our daily lives, to help us become a better musician. The reason why I have chosen Daoism is because the main ideas of it are spontaneity and tranquility. For a musician, these qualities are essential, especially for an improvising musician. But the most important thing is: The core of most Eastern philosophies is enlightenment, and in my writing, I have striven for nothing less, the goal of my research is to bring spirituality back into music. My approach is meant to give a great insight of music and improvisation with the help of Daoism, and to help musicians in their daily music practice, playing and composing, and last but not least, to provide mental support at a mentally unstable age.
