Study methods for reading a book

I bought Aaron Copland's Music and Imagination to try to incorporate more emotional and expressive elements into my piano playing. However, when I read different books, I have written down useful information but fail to put the information into practice. Does anyone have any way around this? My piano teacher thinks it might be down to my neurodiversity.

  • ok do it again, but this time with emotion. let us see your personality come through this time... lol always made no sense to me. just play. the emotion comes through whether you like it or not. thats your style. some people are very expressive, some are technical. you could mask by pulling blues player faces at your tutor while you play. but getting the right notes in the right order at the right time is the important bit.
