The Inner Game of Music Barry Green W Timothy Gallwey 9780385231268 Books Reviews

As the other reviewers have mentioned, this book will not only help you with your musical performance and how to practice, but also how to deal with other situations in your chosen career (be it music or otherwise) and everyday life. I've read through the book only one time and I'm now planning on reading through it again. I have pages marked and highlighted that pertain particularly to the situation I'm in so I can concentrate on them more. The book states from the outset that there may be certain areas that don't pertain to everyone. That has been the case with me, but it's still interesting to me to read through these areas to see what other musicians might be struggling with or find useful. Who knows. Those areas may become pertinent to me in the future. This book was recommended to me because I struggled with performance anxiety. Since I've read through it, my private teacher has noticed a big difference in my abilities.
book was a gift to my son who is a amateur musician and he loves it. Can be applied to life as well as music
After 20 years of singing opera and classical recitals, I still worry about forgetting the words, or have that inner voice analyzing every sound that comes out. This book helped me to stop those inner judges and relax and immerse myself in the music. Performing has become much more fun.....what a concept!

This book is based on Gallwey's quite successful title, The Inner Game of Tennis The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance. What is striking and admirable is that Green didn't just write a knockoff cribbed from Gallwey's book. After meeting with Gallwey about the project, they decided Green should live with (and teach) the principles and then write the book. Three years later, Green was ready and this book is the result.

As you might guess, the book is about how to think about- and approach playing music and music practice. There is a lot of useful information in this little book, and it's clear that Green--a professional symphonic bass player and university teacher--knows what he's talking about and writes clearly about it.

He starts with an overview of Gallwey's approach, namely using the "Self 1" and "Self 2" aspects of our thinking. Green immediately points out that this doesn't necessarily conform to the popular "left-brain/right-brain," and other ideas from psychology (for more on this, read Pinker's good book, A Whole New Mind Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future). S1 and S2 are simply a conceptual tool to help "describe the ways in which the incredibly complex human being is 'wired and programmed.'" (p. 17). Self 1 is the rational, analytical, judgmental self, while self 2 is more holistic, body-centered and emotive. Green shows how both selves are essential, but each has its place and role. Our culture focuses much more on S1, and Green takes us through ways to bring out the strengths inherent in S2. The first part of the book introduces us to "Inner Game" principles and how he's applied them to music.

One of the most valuable parts of the book for me was the advice throughout the book on awareness. Awareness not only as a musician, but especially as a teacher (Chapter 10), and the teacher's role in evoking deep awareness in students by avoiding the "Do this" approach and adopting the "Be aware of..." approach . Other valuable chapters for me were CH11 The Inner Game Listener; CH8 Coping with Obstacles; CH9 Improving the Quality of Musical Experience; and CH7 Letting Go.

The weaknesses of the book lie in its classically oriented, Western-art-music-is-best approach, though this is a minor concern as most of the principles in the book can be applied to any type of music. To be fair, this bias is, I think, not a result of any overt agenda on Green's part, and I'd bet his musical tastes are far-ranging and varied, but because of his own immersion in that tradition, his writing is bound to come off with a bit of this flavor. I found value in all but one of the chapters, CH 15 Improvisation, Composition, and Creativity, which gave shallow treatments of each subject. Putting all three of these complex and useful musical tools into one chapter does a disservice to the topics and the thoroughness of the rest of the book. In fact, each topic could easily support an entire chapter (or book!) of its own.

Despite these minor flaws, it's a great read for anyone interested in playing music, or anyone with a child interested in music. The book is rarely dry or pedantic and makes frequent use of real-world anecdotes to illustrate points. Using examples like this make the book an enjoyable read and may help the reader to apply these principles and philosophies to his or her own situation. The book has something for everyone players of any level, parents of players, and teachers at any level. Highly recommended.

Have fun, and good luck with your practice!
I really enjoyed this book and its discussion of self 1, with all of its doubts and fears, and self 2, the uninhibited part of us that we need to allow to take over in difficult situations. Intuition is key, and we can enjoy and create much more fluidly if we allow ourselves to follow those deeper feelings without letting logic destroy the moment. Nevertheless, I felt the book was mostly appropriate for professional musicians, and not so much amateurs or beginners. The terminology was often beyond what I would expect a beginner to understand, and many beginners are often unable to let self 2 take over because they have never brought themselves to a level of self 1 discipline to learn the piece thoroughly enough that they can allow self 2 to emerge. Perhaps this book will help them though.
