Bringing Music to Life by Barry Green

Bringing Music to Life by Barry Green

Ideal for amateurs and professionals alike, this innovative, imaginative guide demonstrates how musicians can reach their full potential. Delving deeply into the methodology and inspiration required to energize and enliven music making, this manual offers countless suggestions for creating joy and excitement in performance. A stimulating series of activities and reflections using YouTube video clips clearly illustrates ideas, concepts, and techniques such as breathing, pulse, and movement. This entertaining reference also recounts the author's experiences singing, conducting, and playing with violinist Joshua Bell, Latin musician Tito Puente, symphony conductors Leonard Bernstein and Gustavo Dudamel, and even with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during his I Have a Dream speech.

This is not a book to read, it is a book to liveIf you are a musician, it can help you reformat your creativity. If you are not a musician, it can help you take those first rhythmic steps to joy and expression. If you have lost your confidence in performance, Bringing Music to Life can launch your courage, vision and vitality." - Don Campbell, author, The Mozart Effect, from the foreword
