Description

The book deals with three clusters of issues facing professional musicians. Part 1, "The Care and Feeding of Chops: Helpful Hints for Brass Players (and Others)," discusses various aspects of musical ability, including problems of embouchure and acoustics, composing and arranging, jazz improvisation, memorization and sight-reading, and different brain-based skills such as gross and fine motor, verbal, and intellectual. Part 2, "Chops 2.0--Wrapping Your Brain Around Performing, Composing, and Improvising" looks at four different sets of brain-based skills (gross and fine motor, verbal, and intellectual) and how to use them in performing, writing, and jazz improvisation. Part 3, "Keep Your Head on Straight! Suggestions for the Practice Room, the Classroom, the Concert Hall...and Your Career," examines various practical, ethical, and psychological challenges of being a professional, performing musician.
