Publisher's Summary
The Inner Game of music is that which takes place in the mind, played against such elusive opponents as nervousness, self doubt, and fear of failure. Using the same principles of "natural learning" W. Timothy Gallwey developed so successfully for tennis, golf, and skiing and applying them to his own field, noted musician Barry Green shows how to acknowledge and overcome these internal obstacles in order to bring a new quality to the experience and learning of music. It is also ideal for those who don't play an instrument but who feel their appreciation of music will be enhanced if they understand more about the process of playing.
In precise, easy to understand language, Green and Gallwey explain how natural skills can be nurtured and enhanced, and through a series of special exercises they demonstrate the ways in which musicians can achieve exact intonation, artistic phrasing, and improved technique.
Ensemble playing, improvisation, composition and creativity, and listening skills are discussed throughout.
A methodology with a proven track record, this will be invaluable to anyone seriously interested in music, professional or amateur, composer, performer, or an appreciative listener.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Incredible book for musicians
Absolute must read for musicians of all skill levels! Also compliments Rick Rubins book ‘The Creative Act: a way of being’ extremely well! Don’t worry about doing the exercises at the end of each chapter verbatim, it’s great to implement what you can and refine it on the next repeated listen. Adopt to your context as needed. Enjoy!
