"Musicianship From the Inside Out"
Download Eli Epstein’s handbook developed for his work with the BSO Musicians in the School program.
“How we approach every aspect of being a musician comes from within. From centering ourselves before a practice session to feeling the breath move in and flow out of our bodies as sound, we are focused on the inside.
This handbook provides a creative and fun way for students and teachers to explore together the inner workings of the discipline of music. This booklet sheds light on subjects that are rarely discussed: How do we become great teachers to ourselves? How do we manage performance anxiety? How do we convey authentic emotion? We invite each student to come up with his or her own answers.
Students already know much of what they need to know; they just don’t know it yet. When we discover answers for ourselves, when we learn how to learn, when we take risks in front of our peers, when we express our depth as human beings, we are learning life skills that will always serve us.”
