I'm posting this both to generate some lively discussion and to see what the general thinking is.
I'm wondering, do you think that we play with our heads cocked to the right because there is a benefit or is it because we're lazy or does it show a certain amount of humility/shyness to noodle away to oneself?
In my own thinking, I've got to say that it is an unattractive pose. I much prefer to see someone standing and playing straight and making eye contact with those that they're playing with/for. I've been trying to correct my own habit of playing lopsided lately, but I am wondering if anyone else sees this as a bad habit, or if I'm just delusional. Maybe it's just my old flute teachers (that did think of it as a bad habit) coming back to haunt me.
What do you think?
Peace,
Erik
