Here, components such as rhythm, grid, sound, and coordination fit like mosaic stones into the larger picture of better and more efficient practice." --Babette Hierholzer, pianist"Whatever your stage or role in musical life, Pedro de Alcantara will guide you in his masterly way: leaping, lunging, singing, howling, and improvising toward musical enlightenment." --Wendy Williams, flutist, Minnesota Orchestra"A welcome addition to writing on the subject of the Alexander Technique and the application of its principles to music, the book is a testament to the breadth of the author's experience as a teacher...Wonderfully presented...Works well as a book one can explore over a period of time." --Music Education UK"INTEGRATED PRACTICE delves deeply into the most fundamental elements of music and connects them to universal aspects of human experience: speech, vibration, clarity of expression and the rhythms inherent in every movement we make...An important addition to every musician's working library." --AmSAT Journal"This fascinating, thought-provoking book aims to guide us to grasp and harness the connections between music, fundamental laws of nature, human speech and behaviour. Relevant to musicians of all ages and standards, its wisdom and insights are conveyed with a light touch, in a manner at once practical and imaginative, specific and universal, erudite and accessible." --The Strad"Alcantara provides exercises including movements, poetic recitation, conducting, and an assortment of interesting analogies and stories...The variety of information will help musicians of any age develop better coordination between emotion and technique." --American String Teacher"Alcantara's holistic teaching method, which interweaves the physical, theoretical, and interpretational aspects of making music, is one that many educators and performers will find useful...INTEGRATED PRACTICE is an intriguing and original read that will appeal widely to students and professionals alike." --Strings, "Integrated Practice is a remarkable tool for the aspiring musician on the road to understanding artistry." --Mimi Zweig, Professor, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University "Integrated Practice appeals to professional musicians and music lovers alike!

The balance between structure and inventiveness is also essential to your well-being.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
