The Mastery of Music : Ten Pathways to True Artistry

Rating:
Summary: Inspiring, insightful
Review: A tremendous resource for both musicians and for those who want to understand what makes a musical artist 'great'. Well organized, clearly written, but never superficial or simplistic. Inspired me to purchase Green's other book, Inner Game of Music.

Review: This book is fantastic!!!!

Regardless of if you were one of the millions to read The Inner Game of Music you should drop everything and pick up this book.

As a non-musician music lover, this book gave me a rare and interesting look about what inspires and motivates the greats of our time. It is just amazing to hear Dave Brubeck talk about creativity or what Joshua Bell thinks about as he plays the violin. This book lets you inside the minds of these greats and lets you catch a glance at their genius and then allows you to be inspired by their inspirations. This book not only lets you peak "behind the curtain" of the musical legends but takes you in to their living rooms, childhoods and thoughts !
