Book excerpt: The great composer’s “superb” advice on playing, practicing, composing, and being a musician, with additional comments by renowned cellist Steven Isserlis (Times Literary Supplement). If everybody were to play first violin, we could not have an orchestra. Originally published in1850, Advice to Young Musicians: Musical Rules for Home and in Life offered composer Robert Schumann’s combination of practical advice and poetic words of wisdom for young people beginning their musical education. Presented in aphorisms and short paragraphs, the book’s insights remain as valuable today as when they were written. Recognizing the continued resonance of Schumann’s words, world-renowned cellist Steven Isserlis, himself a writer of children’s books and many articles for young musicians, set out to rescue the work from history. Here, he revisits Schumann’s work and contributes his own contemporary counsel for musicians and music lovers. For this edition, Isserlis retranslated Schumann’s text and arranged it into four thematic sections: “On being a musician,” “Playing,” “Practicing,” and “Composing.” Each page is decoratively designed, and accompanying Schumann’s original quotations are Isserlis’s thoughtful and often humorous glosses. The book concludes with Isserlis’s own reflections on his life as a musician and performer: “My Own Bits of Advice (For What They’re Worth).” The result is a unique and thought-provoking book that will be treasured by aspiring musicians of any age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to play an instrument can be fun and, at times, frustrating. This lively, accessible book helps young people cope with the difficulties involved in learning a new instrument and remaining dedicated to playing and practicing. Teens from renowned music programs - including the Juilliard School's Pre-College Program and Boston University's Tanglewood Institute - join pro musicians such as Wynton Marsalis, Paula Robison, and James Galway in offering practical answers to questions from what instrument to play to where the musical road may lead. In this revised and expanded edition, Amy Nathan has updated the book to address today's more technologically-minded young musician. Expanded sections cover the various ways students can use technology to assist in mastering an instrument and in making practice time more productive, from using the Internet to download pieces to be learned and playing along with downloaded tunes to practicing with computer-based practice programs, CDs, and videos/DVDs of musical performances. She also addresses concerns of young composers and conductors, two groups not mentioned in the original edition. The book's updated Resource Guide suggests where to get additional help, both online and off.

Book excerpt: Advice to Young Musicians Musikalische Haus- und Lebens-Regeln The cultivation of the Ear is of the greatest importance.--Endeavour early to distinguish each several tone and key. Find out the exact notes sounded by the bell, the glass, the cuckoo, etc. * * * * * Practise frequently the scale and other finger exercises; but this alone is not sufficient. There are many people who think to obtain grand results in this way, and who up to a mature age spend many hours daily in mechanical labour. That is about the same, as if we tried every day to pronounce the alphabet with greater volubility! You can employ your time more usefully. * * * * * There are such things as mute pianoforte-keyboards; try them for a while, and you will discover that they are useless. Dumb people cannot teach us to speak. * * * * * Play strictly in time! The playing of many a virtuoso resembles the walk of an intoxicated person. Do not take such as your model. * * * * * Learn betimes We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Download or read book Life Rules for Young Musicians written by Robert Schumann and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-26 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of pedagogical maxims entitled Musikalische Haus-und Leben Regeln (Home and Life Rules for Musicians) is one of the most popular literary works of Robert Schumann. The rules were written in the last period of his life and contain Schumann's most important pedagogical ideas for young musicians. Initially, the author intended to place these notes between the pieces in his Album fur die Jugend (Album for the Young), op. 68. Later, however, this plan was abandoned and the work was published separately, in a special annex to Leipzig's Neue Musikmagazin (New Music Magazine). The educational value of Schumann's book consists not only in the practical advice on how to achieve technical mastery, but also in the idea, constantly emphasized throughout the book, that music must embody virtue and always serve a greater purpose.

Book excerpt: This is the book your private teacher, orchestra director and the 30-year-old you, wants you to read. The advice you'll find here derives from the simple idea that musicians - even young musicians - ought to be equipped for the business side of their careers. Without that preparation, the most talented musicians can fail to make a living. As you read, you'll encounter the same recommendations that I give my college bound music students and their parents. The information in these pages has led many of them to get into good colleges and pursue remarkable careers. If you take it to heart, it can do the same for you. In music, an "upbeat" is the last beat in a bar that precedes the downbeat. It marks a transition, and is characterized by the anticipation of the next movement of music. In life, "upbeat" refers to a positive and optimistic mood. I hope this book can be both.
