Music Mentaltraining Lernen und Üben

"Learning and Practicing" is the second part of the book series "Music Mental Training." It focuses on how we can utilize mental training while practicing an instrument, as well as when learning the fundamentals of music theory. Like the first part, the second part is aimed at musicians of all ages, from beginners to advanced players and professionals. Practice time, goal orientation, and one's personal condition are some of the factors that significantly influence musical development. With Music Mental Training, these factors can be positively influenced in a targeted manner. This book aims to demonstrate how this can be achieved. Additionally, it covers other interesting topics such as the basics of learning psychology, learning strategies, learning types and styles, goal formulation, and practical tips for practicing an instrument. The actual techniques of Music Mental Training are explained in a practical manner: breathing, meditation and mindfulness, auto-suggestive methods like affirmations or self-talk, visualization, conditioning, reframing techniques, and self-hypnosis. The core of the book consists of over 40 tested mental exercises with simple instructions, allowing each person to create their own practice package based on personal preferences. With regular application, mental training helps to achieve a relaxed and focused state, learn efficiently, and thereby develop more self-confidence and enjoyment in music and playing an instrument.
