It feels awesome, and you should strive to experience this instinctual perfection more and more as you make music. #2 Your musical truth is defined by whether or not you feel right while playing music, and whether or not it feels like yes to you. If you feel right and are allowing the music to unfold, then the music you are playing is true.

Best Practice
Author: Judy Minot
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578870441
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Best Practice is written for non-professional musicians who play "traditional" music of any style on any instrument. Technology and ease of travel may make these regional styles easier to learn about and hear, but many players struggle to maintain commitment and enthusiasm for practicing, given the pressures of daily life. These musicians need a different kind of advice on practicing and playing. Why? Because they're usually adults, playing primarily for enjoyment, and they're often self-taught. Many have expressed that, while they truly want to improve, they don't know whether their efforts are efficient, or even effective. They may wonder: Am I spending my practice time well? Am I working on the things that will help me achieve what I want? How much time should I spend practicing and how often should I practice? Should I focus on notes, ornaments, speed, intonation? How much music theory do I really need to know? What should my goals be for each day, each week, or longer?The book incorporates ideas for practice techniques, and also suggestions for developing mental and physical habits that support artistic progress and growth. The author interweaves concepts from a lifetime as a musician, over 20 years' training and teaching aikido, plus yoga, meditation, and even a career in television and marketing.Traditional, or "trad" music styles include old time, Celtic, Cajun, Swedish, contra, Québecois, blues, Métis, and others, but much of the information in the book could apply to any musician, singers, and even other types of artists. There are 197 short, self-contained chapters. Each offers a single concept or idea. You can read one whenever you sit down to practice or play. Best Practice incorporates the author's experience as a musician, a martial artist, a yoga teacher, and even as a broadcast video editor and producer. There are learnings from neuroscience, psychology, and Buddhist meditation. This is a book you'll want to keep near your practice space, to dip into repeatedly for inspiration.

Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen
Author: David Boucher
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501345672
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Both Dylan and Cohen have been a presence on the music and poetry landscape spanning six decades. This book begins with a discussion of their contemporary importance, and how they have sustained their enduring appeal as performers and recording artists. The authors argue that both Dylan and Cohen shared early aspirations that mirrored the Beat Generation. They sought to achieve the fame of Dylan Thomas, who proved a bohemian poet could thrive outside the academy, and to live his life of unconditional social irresponsibility. While Dylan's and Cohen's fame fluctuated over the decades, it was sustained by self-consciously adopted personas used to distance themselves from their public selves. This separation of self requires an exploration of the artists' relation to religion as an avenue to find and preserve inner identity. The relationship between their lyrics and poetry is explored in the context of Federico García Lorca's concept of the poetry of inspiration and the emotional depths of 'duende.' Such ideas draw upon the dislocation of the mind and the liberation of the senses that so struck Dylan and Cohen when they first read the poetry and letters of Arthur Rimbaud and Lorca. The authors show that performance and the poetry are integral, and the 'duende,' or passion, of the delivery, is inseparable from the lyric or poetry, and common to Dylan, Cohen and the Beat Generation.
