My Favorite Books on Music Practice

Over the years, I've encountered a number of books that have had a big impact on not just my practice, but also my overall view of music and life.

When we apply effective practice methods, we're able to trust the process and let go of self-doubts. You can find these books on amazon, or google them to find written or video summaries.
