The Inner Game of Music; the breakout hit that became a standard primer in the music world; has taught thousands of musiciansmdash;professionals and amateurs alikemdash;how to overcome self-consciousness and stage fright and to recapture a youthful; almost effortless capacity to learn.

Culling advice from dozens of interviews with legends including Joshua Bell; Dave Brubeck; Jeffrey Kahane; Bobby McFerrin; Christopher Parkening; Doc Severinsen; Frederica von Stade; the Harlem Boys Choir; and the Turtle Island String Quartet; he reveals that itrsquo;s not enough to have a cerebral and emotional connection to the notes. Green hows how musical excellence; exhibited by true virtuosos; requires a mastery of ten unique qualities of the soul and the human spirit; such as confidence; passion; discipline; creativity; and relaxed concentration; and he discusses specific ways in which all musicians; composers; and conductors can take their skills to higher levels. He carefully incorporates all instruments and techniques in his rejuvenating discussions; inspiring the stifled student to have fun again and the over-rehearsed performer to rediscover the joy of passionate expression. Essential reading for every musician; The Mastery of Music strikes a beautiful new chord.From the Trade Paperback edition.
