ForteAs a formally trained pianist and clarinetist and an informally trained drummer I have found this book very insightful and informative. This book is very scientific and very real. Numerous studies have been cited and all the information is scientifically backed. This is what makes it so useful for teachers and students. Specific techniques and methods for teaching and learning are combined with a stimulating mix of philosophy and psychology.From a book lovers perspective; this is not exactly an easy or fun read. I enjoy reading almost anything and I certainly enjoyed this book; however; if youre not a teacher; or someone who has a direct need to study teaching methodology; there are other books that are far more adventurous about the psychology of music and how our brains injest and interpret different aural stimuli. Two particularly fascinating books on this subject are "The Tao of Music;" by John Ortiz; and "Music; the Brain; and Estacy;" by Robert Jourdain.As a former music major at the University of New Haven; I feel like this book should start appearing as a required text for many relevant college classes. Also; anyone building a library or a collection of books on music should have this book.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Psych for Musicians is one of the few comprehensive studies.By Musician 35This book is a very detailed; comprehensive view of the music making process. It primarily refers to professional musicians; and the process by which they learn; memorize; play; compose; and improvise music. There is also some valuable information on performance anxiety that almost all musicians deal with. While it is great to finally see such detailed studies to "prove our worth" as musicians; this book is very wordy. A lot of what is said could have been shortened to a few paragraphs per topic; because; to the professional music; it is mostly common sense.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
