The MindÕs Ear: Exercises for Improving the Musical Imagination for Performers, Listeners and Composers

Note: Ranging from amusing suggestions and games to rather challenging musical endeavors, these exercises were created by the author for his classes at the Juilliard School. Using imagination and a sense of humor, The MindÕs Ear appeals to a wide variety of readers, from the devoted listener to the advanced conservatory student and teacher. Fun and educational, this book is used by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, New York, in the ÒPerformance Awareness SeminarÓ created by the author. ÒThis is an excellent book: one of the finest methods for students and teachers to explore the world of music. The ideas are presented brilliantly. The games in the volume are serious and valuable.Ó Fred Sherry, cellist and Artist Member, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
