By A. L. Gibson
Format:Paperback
Written in pleasant, though somewhat erudite prose, it takes a little time to get going. The writer does, however, provide insights into conventional attitudes to practice, and makes clear suggestions as to how these might be changed. The reader can take them away and try them out as they practice. It does help a more discerning approach to coping with those troublesome passages which never seem to go quite right. A book for the interested player/performer rather than the casual reader.

I have recommended this book to three friends and gave one to another as a Christmas present in the hope that Westney's approach to music training and practising will spread to other adult piano learners. I have benefited hugely from his teaching, which really liberated me from perfectionist shackles that had gripped me all my life. His zen-like approach to music applies to all aspects of life, as he rightly says in his book.
