Product Description
In The Musician's Way, veteran performer and educator Gerald Klickstein combines the latest research with his 30 years of professional experience to provide aspiring musicians with a roadmap to artistic excellence. Part I, Artful Practice, describes strategies to interpret and memorize compositions, fuel motivation, collaborate, and more. Part II, Fearless Performance, lifts the lid on the hidden causes of nervousness and shows how musicians can become confident performers. Part III, Lifelong Creativity, surveys tactics to prevent music-related injuries and equips musicians to tap their own innate creativity. Written in a conversational style, The Musician's Way presents an inclusive system for all instrumentalists and vocalists to advance their musical abilities and succeed as performing artists.

I bought this book for my musician husband. He loves this book. He is constantly raving to me as well as his harmonica students the value of this book. He said it is the best book he has ever read on this topic. He is recommending it to others.

Klickstein's Musician's Way is the most comprehensive guide for musicians of all ages and all stages. Guiding the reader through a wide range of subjects - practicing one's instrument and all the aspects this entails, injury prevention and ear protection, performance coaching before/during/after the spotlight, balancing the mind-body-spirit in the life of a musician, memorization, and much more - he manages to pull it all together with clarity and cohesiveness. Although Klickstein is demanding in his suggested course of action in this career, his writing is upbeat and encouraging. His endless curiosity and love for every aspect of this profession shines through, inspiring readers of any field. The moral of the story? If you truly love what you do, you will be the greatest of teachers and find happiness every day of your life.
