Metaphors for the Musician |
|
What separates extraordinary musicians from the ordinary ones? Becoming a better musician not only involves training the physical abilities to play an instrument or learning of the underlying theories, but also demands a Zen-like psychology. This book presents a wealth of valuable insights into almost every aspect of musicianship, including music theory, practice strategies, composing techniques, performance psychology and how to create the states of mind that produce the best improvisations. Although this book is written primarily for jazz musicians, I believe it is valuable for any musician of any genre.
