ReviewsThere are times that we know there is research that would help us perform and teach better, but it's just too difficult to wade through the information. Sheryl Iott has done all that work for us in her new book, Thinking and Playing Music. Not only has she done all the difficult work for us, but she has also written it in a style that is easy to read and has connected the dots, so our practicing and teaching can be more insightful and effective.... Iott is an experienced performer and teacher and interlaces personal anecdotes throughout the book. This helps keep the tone readable and the material relevant. While this book is a pleasure to read because someone has "done the research for you," it is also enjoyable to read because you know the author is walking the journey with you., This book is applicable to musicians of all instruments, but pianists will find it especially useful for them, as it is written from a pianist's point of view, and all musical examples are for piano. [...] Iott's book, grounded in both scientific study and practical experience, is one any musician will find compelling and valuable., This book is applicable to musicians of all instruments, but pianists will find it especially useful [...] Iott's book, grounded in both scientific study and practical experience, is one any musician will find compelling and valuable., In accessible language, Iott imparts constructive, specific advice using over 100 musical examples and score images. In addition, there is an extensive bibliography and an index for ease of finding specific topics. As easy to read as it is practical and thought-provoking, this book contains much wisdom and specific instruction for students and teachers alike. Highly recommended for learners and teachers of every level!, Iott has done remarkable work synthesizing cognitive science and learning theory in a way that encompasses both teaching and deliberate practice, and any teacher interested in helping students learn how to practice effectively would find a great deal of valuable information. Indeed, much of what Iott writes about learning can be applied to areas other than music; for example, I drew inspiration for new approaches to information literacy instruction from her discussion of the concepts underlying a foundational, rule-based approach to learning scales and arpeggios. This book is recommended for academic libraries serving faculty and students in music performance, education, and pedagogy programs., Thinking and Playing Music is thoroughly researched, emits the kind of wisdom accrued through years of practical experience, and is chock-full of vivacious prose and vivid examples. It will help fill a lacuna in music studies, lending studio pedagogy the focus and scholarly heft it warrants., This book does what few do: it bridges the gap between the challenges faced by students and teachers and the science of learning. Such science-based learning makes students efficient and joyful., Thinking and Playing Music synthesizes research and Iott's own experience as a pianist and teacher in a way that is effective, compelling, and interesting.

SynopsisThinking and Playing Music: Intentional Strategies for Optimal Practice and Performance distills cutting-edge teaching and learning methods for musicians of all levels, investigating topics in cognitive science that apply directly to musical development. Containing over one-hundred musical examples, many from the standard piano repertoire, Sheryl Iott uses accessible language to impart practical suggestions that anyone can incorporate into their practice. Maximizing efficiency and effectiveness while cultivating an observant, experimental approach can help musicians make the most of their time and potential while avoiding tension, injury, and burnout. Aligning efforts with inherent mental processes can make learning faster, deeper, and more secure while freeing up attentional space, allowing for creative, personal expression in performance. The book addresses: Beginning musicianship, covering relevant cognition topics such as language acquisition, aural processing and development of audiation while cultivating a playful, relaxed approach to the instrument The intermediate musician, presenting more advanced cognitive topics such as visual processing, chunking, and early problem solving The advanced musician, addressing increased demands on working and long-term memory, how to maximize transfer, a creative approach to problem solving, and strategies to tackle the most difficult repertoire Also included are sample lesson plans, workshop templates, and sample practice assignments. audiation while cultivating a playful, relaxed approach to the instrument The intermediate musician, presenting more advanced cognitive topics such as visual processing, chunking, and early problem solving The advanced musician, addressing increased demands on working and long-term memory, how to maximize transfer, a creative approach to problem solving, and strategies to tackle the most difficult repertoire Also included are sample lesson plans, workshop templates, and sample practice assignments. audiation while cultivating a playful, relaxed approach to the instrument The intermediate musician, presenting more advanced cognitive topics such as visual processing, chunking, and early problem solving The advanced musician, addressing increased demands on working and long-term memory, how to maximize transfer, a creative approach to problem solving, and strategies to tackle the most difficult repertoire Also included are sample lesson plans, workshop templates, and sample practice assignments. audiation while cultivating a playful, relaxed approach to the instrument The intermediate musician, presenting more advanced cognitive topics such as visual processing, chunking, and early problem solving The advanced musician, addressing increased demands on working and long-term memory, how to maximize transfer, a creative approach to problem solving, and strategies to tackle the most difficult repertoire Also included are sample lesson plans, workshop templates, and sample practice assignments. orkshop templates, and sample practice assignments., Thinking and Playing Music: Intentional Strategies for Optimal Practice and Performance distills cutting-edge teaching and learning methods for musicians of all levels, investigating topics in cognitive science that apply directly to musical development.
