Music Pursuing The Horizon
Music Pursuing The Horizon is literally a handbook of survival for musicians. The book deals with subjects which cause problems for anyone pursuing music as a career or as an avocation. The material is geared not at instruction but rather at problem solving. With this problem solving approach, musical myths are explored and exploded.
Deep and highly personal problems often prevent players from achieving their potential. How to cope with attitudes toward yourself, music and a acreer is a critically important factor in succeding in music on any level.
Within the subjects discussed, there is common sense advice and solutions for many pressing problems that plague musicians on a day to day basis.
This book is recommended by the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts and by The Eastman School of Music.

Book Samples
Since it is so difficult to define or even recognize, talent, or the lack of it, has created more than its share of anxiety in aspiring musicians. Perhaps the greatest problem centers around the fact that talent is a fact in retrospect. Only after it has been developed does it become obvious that it exists.
Music favors neither male nor female. It is a universal and gender less art of communication. Though the field has been historically dominated by men, there is nothing about music that inherently favors male as opposed to female excellence. Music is a human art, a testimonial to those who would communicate through sound.
It is most important that the student should concentrate on specific musical techniques and not get overly discouraged by the long run musical objectives. Mastering specific techniques will lead effortlessly to all long run objectives.
Progress is in direct proportion to the time spent on disciplined practice and creative performance.
Practice leads toward performance. Keep an open, searching mind in regard to different types of music and innovative new forms. This openness keeps interest fresh and often leads to interesting original ideas.
