Essential Reading
Customer Rating:
This book is essential reading for all musicians and, as many other reviewers have said, spills naturally over into other areas of your life.
As a classical and jazz performer this book has done more for my focus before and during a concert than any other and as a teacher I find it invaluable. I begin giving some of the simpler advice to younger students as soon as I feel they are able to understand and apply it. I have made it required reading for all of my more advanced students. The fact that there is no review of all techniques only serves as an advantage as I get my students to write one for me.
I had one student who wasn't really a reader and struck a deal with him that reading a chapter of this book would count for a practice session a week. After 2 weeks he brought the book back having read it from cover to cover. Needless to say that his playing had improved immensely.
One of the great works of musical psychology and certainly one I would not even think about teaching without. I'm even thinking about taking up tennis now...
The Inner Game of Music
Customer Rating:
The Inner Game of Music is an excellent book. As a musician, I found it to be extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this book to other musicians, especially to students.
Not worth 5 stars but it is worth buying
Customer Rating:
It has some good philosphy and exercises to help you improve. It is not going to turn you into a virtuoso if you are an amateur, you have to practice and apply the principals. Most of it is commom sense, so if you totally lacked common sense you might be inclined to give it 5 stars. Probably good read for most levels of musicians excercises. A little pricy even with the discount.
Inner Game review
Customer Rating:
Similar concepts of Gallaways other books ( I have read them all) with a good musical propective. I recommend it to musicians especially if they perform.
Probably the best Inner Game book
Customer Rating:
I've read 'The Inner Game of Tennis' which was great. Years later I read 'The Inner game of work' which I found a little harder to bring into practice. The great thing about this book is that Barry Green, a musician himself, rewrites the whole Inner Game from his standpoint as a musician. This makes it really 1 + 1 = 3. It's full of exersizes, very practical.
