DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, co-ordinate their hands, fingers, eyes, and perhaps throat and diaphragm. These achievements are of course the product of hundreds, even thousands of hours of practice - playing scales, studies, time and time again. But those hours of practice by no means guarantee that great musicianship will result. This technical prowess has to be combined with a range of other, perhaps, less tangible qualities. This book explores the secrets of musical virtuosity. It presents a comprehensive account of music and motor cognition, examining the neural basis of music making - our understanding of which is just starting to be enhanced by brain imaging. It considers the effect on our brains of prolonged music making. It explores the motor processes across a range of instruments (vocal, string, wind, percussion) and within different performance situations. It also considers what happens when things start to go wrong - why motor problems occur in so many professional musicians in later life, and the possible therapies for such problems. Music is a topic of considerable interest within the brain sciences. With contributions from leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and neurologists, this book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of music and the brain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMusicians tend to believe that the mystery of their art cannot be objectively studied, quantified, or explained. As a result, the term «motor learning» is rarely used in connection with musicians, and an empirical approach to musical performance is more the exception than the rule. Sports scientists, however, show a great interest in musicians because of their advanced skill level and the attentional and emotional demands of the concert stage. This work combines knowledge across disciplines. Advances toward an understanding of human behavior and cognition offer clues to strategies of motor learning and performance that promote the well-being of musicians and athletes. This book provides a forum for an interdisciplinary exchange of research, laying the groundwork for future projects.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA collection of 42 musical activities designed for classroom teachers, music teachers and music therapists to use in their work with children of various ages, abilities, and needs at the primary level. With over 100 variations, involving singing, moving and playing instruments, these developmentally sequenced activities have been carefully crafted to help children develop: perceptual motor abilities, attentional skills, behavioral limits, speech and language skills, and relational concepts. The music is superb, the piano accompaniments are easy, the activities are great fun for the children, and each one comes with complete instructions on how to engage children at various levels of difficulty. Inasmuch as this a reprinting of their highly acclaimed original work of the same title, the effectiveness of these activities has already been demonstrated in various settings.
