Description

The Musician's Mind: Unlocking the Power of the Brain for Better Performance and Wellbeing. Lynn Helding explores the latest research in cognitive science and neuroscience to reveal how musicians can optimize their mental wellbeing and cognitive abilities. By understanding how the brain processes music, she addresses common myths, motor learning, deliberate practice, instructional feedback, technology's role in attention disorders, performance anxiety, and the social justice importance of music. This book is an inspiring call for artists to cultivate emotion and empathy as cornerstones of a civilized society. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting out, The Musician's Mind offers a new dynamic appreciation for the mind's creative power and its potential to transform your musical journey.
