Book Description
In the age of digital music it seems striking that so many of us still want to produce music concretely with our bodies, through the movement of our limbs, lungs and fingers, in contact with those materials and objects which are capable of producing sounds. The huge sales figures of musical instruments in the global market, and the amount of time and effort people of all ages invest in mastering the tools of music, make it clear that playing musical instruments is an important phenomenon in human life. By combining the findings made in music psychology and performative ethnomusicology, Marko Aho shows how playing a musical instrument, and the pleasure musicians get from it, emerges from an intimate dialogue between the personally felt body and the sounding instrument. An introduction to the general aspects of the tactile resources of musical instruments, musical style and the musician is followed by an analysis of the learning process of the regional kantele style of the Perho river valley in Finnish Central Ostrobothnia.

Book Description
Guitarists are athletes. Playing the guitar requires the skilled use of your entire body. Unfortunately, most books on playing guitar focus exclusively on what notes to play, and give little or no attention to how they should be made. This leaves guitarists with a problem. Misunderstanding the mechanics of movement leads to frustration, because it makes learning new techniques harder, limits your abilities when techniques don't work like they should, and causes injury when unhealthy technique wears down your body. The solution is simple: Anatomy of Guitar Playing is your guide to moving well, learning faster and avoiding injury. When you understand the mechanics of moving, you will know for yourself how techniques work. Anatomy of Guitar Playing is both a description of how the body works, as well as a prescription for how to move better, taking you through what you need to know about the body in order to use it more effectively. It covers the anatomy and physics of fretting and picking, how to set up and adjust the guitar to your body and many other important topics. Through learning about the proper use of the body at the guitar, you will be able to learn faster, play with better facility and reduce injury.

Book Description
This book is exclusively for future musicians, music instructors, and for all of those who have a profound passion to learn the techniques of how to play musical instruments. Visual images of musical instruments are included such as a clarinet, congas, drums, flute, guitar, keyboard, saxophone, trombone, tuba, and violin. Researchers say that children who are exposed to music or those who play an instrument, do better in school. Adults may benefit also from learning to play an instrument because it helps the mind to be alert and remain active. And as an added benefit, it will help sharpen the memory. One of the qualities musicians possess is discipline. A musician must be disciplined in order to master playing an instrument. On a daily basis, it is pertinent that musicians set a time each day to practice. Furthermore, playing an instrument relieves stress, it makes you feel more relaxed, and it plays a major role in helping to calm the mind.
