Liberating
the Master
Musician
Within
is a book for any musician who finds themselves having reached a plateau in their development. Werner, a masterful jazz pianist in his own right, uses his own life story and experiences to explore the barriers to creativity and
mastery
of music, and in the process reveals that "Mastery is available to everyone," providing practical, detailed ways to move towards greater confidence and proficiency in any endeavor. While Werner is a musician, the concepts presented are for every profession or life-style where there is a need for free-flowing, effortless thinking. Book also includes an audio CD of meditations narrated by Kenny to help the musician reach a place of relaxed focus.

Excellent thoughts on practicing
Effortless
Master
y is a wonderful book. So many great insights that really cut to the core of why we all play and love music. Werner's thoughts on practicing have profoundly helped me.
The basic idea, when it comes to practicing is to get control of your focus and be patient. We all feel like we have a ton of things to work on and frequently our mind rushes us through ten things without absorbing anything at all. Werner's approach is to work for short bursts on something basic to your playing, like a rhythm or a technique or the form of a tune, all the while remaining detached and not even trying to play correctly. In fact, your mind should go the other way while practicing, "I hope I play it wrong."
Every mistake that you make shows you where the problems in your playing lie. You then keep reducing the material until you can effortlessly play something or in other words until it is mastered. And this micro practicing has a macro effect as confirmed by my own experiences and also elaborated on in the book.

A life-changing experience
Please get involved with this product. I was at a fellow
musician
's home in Sydney about 6 years ago when I first read this book. Since then I have changed from an uptight, crappy player into a player who gets noticed, has "chops" and one who can find peace in playing. Like the man says, I used to approach the piano with trepidation - now, like Kenny, the piano seat is the most comfortable in the house for me. I have even prescribed this book to my students. IF YOU WANT TO BE A MUSICIAN, YOU MUST READ THIS. I repeat
READ THIS NOW - BEFORE YOU WASTE HALF YOUR LIFE (like I did) WONDERING WHY YOU CAN'T PLAY LIKE "A HEAVY".
