Summary: 5 Stars
William Westney's book is one of the most thought-provoking and insightful books I've ever read. He has given me confidence that I can use his methods to analyze/resolve/prevent mistakes, overcome my fears about performing, and be able to profoundly connect with others through music. I'm sure Westney's ideas will have a significant impact on my thoughts about music and life in general. I am extremely grateful for the obvious care that he has for us all as students of music and life.
Summary of Perfect Wrong Note - Learning to Trust Your Musical Self (Softcover)
In this groundbreaking book, prize-winning pianist and noted educator William Westney helps readers discover their own path to the natural, transcendent fulfillment of making music. Drawing on experience, psychological insight, and wisdom ancient and modern, Westney shows how to trust yourself and set your own musicality free. He offers healthy alternatives for lifelong learning and suggests significant change in the way music is taught. For example, playing a wrong note can be constructive, useful, even enlightening. The creator of the acclaimed Un-Master Class workshop also explores the special potential of group work, outlining the basics of his revelatory workshop that has transformed the music experience for participants the world over. Practicing, in Westney's view, is a lively, honest, adventurous, and spiritually rewarding enterprise, and it can (and should) meet with daily success, which empowers us to grow even more. Teachers, professionals, and students of any instrument will benefit from this unique guide, which brings artistic vitality, freedom, and confidence within everyone's reach.General Books
