Best Practice
Author: Judy Minot
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578870441
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Best Practice is written for non-professional musicians who play "traditional" music of any style on any instrument. Technology and ease of travel may make these regional styles easier to learn about and hear, but many players struggle to maintain commitment and enthusiasm for practicing, given the pressures of daily life. These musicians need a different kind of advice on practicing and playing. Why? Because they're usually adults, playing primarily for enjoyment, and they're often self-taught. Many have expressed that, while they truly want to improve, they don't know whether their efforts are efficient, or even effective. They may wonder: Am I spending my practice time well? Am I working on the things that will help me achieve what I want? How much time should I spend practicing and how often should I practice? Should I focus on notes, ornaments, speed, intonation? How much music theory do I really need to know? What should my goals be for each day, each week, or longer?The book incorporates ideas for practice techniques, and also suggestions for developing mental and physical habits that support artistic progress and growth. The author interweaves concepts from a lifetime as a musician, over 20 years' training and teaching aikido, plus yoga, meditation, and even a career in television and marketing.Traditional, or "trad" music styles include old time, Celtic, Cajun, Swedish, contra, Québecois, blues, Métis, and others, but much of the information in the book could apply to any musician, singers, and even other types of artists. There are 197 short, self-contained chapters. Each offers a single concept or idea. You can read one whenever you sit down to practice or play. Best Practice incorporates the author's experience as a musician, a martial artist, a yoga teacher, and even as a broadcast video editor and producer. There are learnings from neuroscience, psychology, and Buddhist meditation. This is a book you'll want to keep near your practice space, to dip into repeatedly for inspiration.
