Editorial Reviews

Review

"Practicing for Artistic Success" helps musicians build a technique that is synchronous with the ways our minds and bodies work. -- International Musician, March, 2005


Product Description

Music performance is an intuitive art. Music practice is a conscious managerial skill. To practice music effectively the musician must be in touch with his intuitive artistic impulses, and at the same time, stand outside the process as a coach, making an endless series of conscious managerial decisions. Most music practicers are ineffective coaches because they have never been taught explicitly the intricacies of managing their practice. "Practicing for Artistic Success: The Musician's Guide to Self-empowerment" is dedicated to describing both the strategies that achieve consistent gymnastic control efficiently and the strategies that facilitate musical expression and communication. It presents an easy-to-learn system to all musicians who are ready to reduce frustration and bring greater meaning and joy into their practice space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, August 7, 2008
I have studied music for years, and only recently started to produce the outcomes I have desired. When I stumbled upon this book while minding my teachers two cats I knew I had found the secret ingredient missing in my practice routine. I knew I could improve my planning, but I didn't know how. This book puts it right in front of you in easy to follow techniques. Also, the ideas on expectations are great. Just keep improving, one step at the time, and success will eventually follow. The way he puts it is, again, easy to understand and follow. "Better is perfect, and PERFECT is irrelevant!" If you ever want to make the most out of your practicing buck, this book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, March 19, 2008
This book is great for those musicians that need more encouragement, that also need a guideline on how to practice efficiently, and who want to learn how to prepare themselves to become successful musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential in every music student's library, November 23, 2008
By David (Beverly Hills, CA) - See all my reviews
As a long-time music teacher and professional musician, my own experience confirms the dismay I see on the faces of students confronting the task of practicing. This book is, to say the least, extremely helpful in clarifying the practice process. More to the point, it is inspiring, insightful, and, I believe, essential to students of all levels. Wanting to learn music brings us together, but understanding and communicating how to do it is a gift from a Mr. Kaplan.
