Quinn Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi FB, I read "The Inner Game Of Music" a while back and found it to be helpful, too. I think the concept of "self-interference" being the major hinderance to musical performance and other endeavors is right on target.

g. Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Why stop at music-specific titles? There's all kinds of great books on various sciences, books on drawing or art from the right side of the brain, studies on creativity, stuff on mathematical patterns found in nature and also expressed in overtone series, all the cool stuff on Mandelbrots, and then all the metaphysical and spiritual insights from ages past to present that can go anywhere. .

Dave Brown Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I went to a clinic one time at TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) convention where Barry Green was speaking. I cannot express to you how utterly sweet a guy he is. I mentioned in the Bass Magic thread about Dr. James Jordan; his "The Musican's Spirit" and "The Musicians Soul" are great books. "Effortless Mastery" by Kenny Warner. And some others are found in: Reading books about music is a good idea. Yep. I'm the other voice in the head of davebrownbass.
