There's a new book out that is absolutely the most important book any musician will ever read. The book is called "Mind Power for Musicians" and is unlike any of the hundreds (if not thousands) of music instruction books you've all seen. It lists mental techniques that musicians (or music students) can use to improve musical skill. The book shows how to: -sharpen concentration -improve memory -overcome stage fright -increase motivation -improve dexterity -enhance creativity -develop learning skills and study habits The book doesn't go into boring detail about psychology and brain function, but quickly describes how the mind works in regard to performing, learning, and creating music. It then gets right to the point of listing easy to understand techniques that can be put to use right away. Many of these methods are based on what researchers have learned about the human mind and subconscious. Athletes have been using these types of techniques for years to improve their performance, and now musicians can use this information to make amazing improvements to their musical skills. Have you ever forgotten song lyrics or chord progressions on stage? What about stage fright. doesn't that cut your playing ability in half (as well as make you miserable)? And songwriters, isn't it frustrating to write great material one day, then the next day you draw a blank? And haven't we all promised ourselves that we would start practicing more and devote ourselves to achieving musical excellence.only to let that enthusiasm fade away? Why not learn the skills that allow you the mind control to achieve your musical potential. It took over four years to research and write this book, and I assure you that the things I've uncovered are amazing. Here's the link: http://mindpowerformusicians.com Thanks everybody, Doug Oliver
